Future, present and past of the Global South
Sixty years after the historic Tricontinental Conference in Havana (1966), it is necessary to revisit one of the foundational milestones of internationalism in the Global South, along with the Bandung Conference (1955) and the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement (1961). At that extraordinary conference, liberation movements, governments, and organizations from Africa, Asia, and Latin America came together to articulate common strategies against colonialism, imperialism, and the structural inequalities of the world system.
Organized by the Tricontinental Institute and CLACSO, the discussion on Monday, December 15, sought to open a window to the past to understand the roots of anti-imperialist struggles, their political power, and the lessons that remain relevant in today's world. It aimed to address what it means to update the Tricontinental spirit today, how to forge international solidarity, rethink development from the perspective of social and ecological justice, and strengthen grassroots projects in a transforming global order.
Within this framework, the following was presented:tricontinental”, a book that brings together speeches, documents and key materials from the conference, compiled by Manolo de los Santos and published by 1804 Books.
