About the Book
The book Socialist Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement: social, cultural, political, and economic imaginaries (edited by Paul Stubbs, published by McGill-Queens’ University Press, January 2023) explores the Non-Aligned Movement as one of a number of „antisystemic worldmaking projects“ after the Second World War, offering alternatives to East-West conflicts in the context of the Cold War and hopes of a world emerging from colonial domination of the South by the North.
The fifteen chapters in the book discuss a wide range of themes, deliberately eschewing a single narrative and, instead, allowing diverse approaches, genres, and arguments to emerge that help to reveal the contradictions, contestations and complexities of the Non-Aligned Movement itself, socialist Yugoslavia’s role within it, and the ambiguous and porous nature of geopolitical categorizations and configurations.
In a dialogue inspired by the book, but also transcending it in important ways, this workshop addresses the ambivalences and contradictions of the role of socialist Yugoslavia, enrolled in transnational forms of decolonial solidarity whilst reproducing North South divisions within the country itself.
