Second World

Most literary scholars based in the united states think of the postcolonial as a largely first and third world affair, neglecting the vast Second World and the socialist dynamics that shaped the postcolonial world in the decades after World War II. The Soviet Russian translation of Ferdinand Oyono's 1956 literary classic Une vie de boy highlights the sustained and complex interactions between the Soviet world and colonial and postcolonial Africa that have played an important role in the development of postcoloniality.

The Third World

During the early 1960s, Beijing launched a new diplomatic effort to raise its visibility and promote its viewpoints in the Third World. Its goal was to assemble a radical coalition (or united front) of Afro-Asian states that opposed imperialism and revisionism. The PRC took advantage of the frustrations with the Great Powers harbored by Indonesia, Cambodia, Pakistan and some of the newly independent African countries to win allies in the Third World. The United States constantly sought to undermine these efforts by advocating more moderate versions of nonalignment and mobilizing public opinion against Chinese officials when they travelled abroad.

At Home

‘Cold wars at home’ highlights the domestic repercussions of the Cold War. The Cold War exerted so profound and so multi-faceted an impact on the structure of international politics and state-to-state relations that it has become customary to label the 1945–90 period ‘the Cold War era’. That designation becomes even more fitting when one considers the powerful mark that the Soviet–American struggle for world dominance and ideological supremacy left within many of the world’s nation-states. The Cold War of course affected the internal constellation of forces in the Third World, Europe, and the United States and impacted the process of decolonization, state formation, and Cold War geopolitics.

Charismatic Christianity

While a great deal of social science literature has examined the explosion of pentecostal and charismatic Christianity in the Global South as well as conservative and anti-modern forms of resurgent Christianity in the United States, little work has been done to investigate the causal effects of the former on the latter. Drawing from existing literature, interviews, and archives, this article contributes to filling that gap by arguing that in the mid-twentieth century, evangelical missionary concerns about competition from global Pentecostalism led to an intellectual crisis at the Fuller School of World Missions; this crisis in turn influenced important Third Wave figures such as John Wimber and C. Peter Wagner and is linked to key moments and developments in their thought and pedagogy.

Development Work

Applied anthropologists are now commonly involved at all levels in rural and agricultural development work in Third World countries. Corresponding efforts in the United States, however, are much less common. This can be attributed in part to increased scrutiny and skepticism concerning past research efforts, which are frequently seen as unilaterally beneficial to researchers and of little tangible long-term gain to local people. No where is this more true than among Native American populations. Leigh Jenkins, Director of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (HCPO), puts it quite succinctly: "Intruders are not welcome, especially if they come dressed as anthropologists… As any visitor will attest, it has become quite a challenge to prove one's sincerity, honesty, and fairness to the Hopis, especially if that visitor plans to do research" ("Forward" in Peter Whitely, Bacavi: A Journey to Reed Springs [Flagstaff, AZ: Northland Press, 1988]).
