Lewis and Osei-Opare's new edited volume is a field-changing book that shifts our view of the global history of development. It definitively grounds the history of development in the global south and irreversibly links it to stories of socialism, internationalism and regionalism that will change scholars' and students' understanding of the 20th century.

Su Lin Lewis and Nana Osei-Opare have brought together a great team of scholars to explore the entanglements of socialism and development in Asia, Africa, and Latin America from the early 1900s to the 1980s. The volume looks at actors from the Third World who constructed and reconstructed socialist conceptions of development autonomously from the socialist world and from leftists in Europe and North America. The book's remarkable geographical and intellectual breadth should be an example for all historians interested in socialism and development.
