Recovering the literary and intellectual history of anticolonial collaborations
Preoccupied with developing a multiethnic, postcolonial culture and seeking an alternative to Cold War-bloc politics, socialist Yugoslavia turned to the decolonizing countries of the Global South. It forged political, economic, and cultural links with postcolonial states and anticolonial liberation movements through the Non-Aligned Movement, of which it was a founding member in 1961. NAM spanned political and economic systems, uniting members in opposition to superpower politics and around policies of nuclear disarmament, active peaceful coexistence, anticolonialism, and respect for national sovereignty.
Nataša Kovacevic is a professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. She is the author of Narrating Post/Communism: Colonial Discourse and Europe's Borderline Civilization and Uncommon Alliances: Cultural Narratives of Migration in the New Europe.
