Title ProperProducing scientific knowledge by and for the Third World: postcolonial Algeria, South Americans and militant expertise in the Global Cold War
LanguageENG
AuthorPalieraki, E
Summary / Abstract (Note)The recent renewal of the historiographical debate on the ‘global sixties’ has been made possible by moving away from an exclusive focus on 1968 in the United States and Western Europe as well as by increased scholarly attention to Third World revolutionary processes and the connections among them. However, scholarship on the 1960s in the Third World has mainly explored the circulation of strictly political agency (activists, governments, states, political movements), neglecting other important actors. Militant experts who transnationally coproduced an epistemology by and for the Third World are one such case. These politically committed professionals played a crucial role in postwar international forums and actively contributed to building postcolonial states. This article explores the case of postcolonial Algeria and its encounter with South American experts who were strongly committed to the Third World’s political and economic independence.
