Abstract

In his recent works on the East and the Third World, the Argentine researcher Martín Bergel is concerned to highlight that few notions like the latter have enjoyed such a rapid appearance and expansion at a global level only to subsequently suffer practically total abandonment. Born around 1952, in the heat of the scenario that opened once the Second World War had concluded and under the pen of the French sociologist and demographer Alfred Sauvy, it achieved wide acceptance both in the academic world and in the political and militant sphere of the long sixties. In the work that we review here, the Indian historian Vijay Prashad tries to account for the influence that the Russian revolution of 1917 had on that part of the world that was trying to leave European colonial domination behind.
