This book aims to shed light on these other visions and the transnational interactions that emerged from various gatherings of the 1950s and 1960s that existed beyond the realm of high diplomacy, while blurring the lines between state and non-state projects. It examines how Afro-Asianism was lived by activists, intellectuals, cultural figures, and political leaders in building a post-imperial world, particularly women. As a whole, this collection of essays explores the diversity of Afro-Asian ideals that emerged through such movements, untangling the personal relationships, political competition, racial hierarchies, and solidarities that shaped them. By visualizing political Afro-Asianism and its proponents as a living network, a fuller picture of decolonization and the Cold War is brought into view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eAfro-Asianism of the Early Cold War: Reclaiming the Other Visions of Post-Colonial Worldmaking\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Afro-Asianism of the early Cold War has long remained buried under the narrative of Bandung, homogenizing and subverting the different visions of post-colonial worldmaking that co-existed alongside the Bandung project.
