WIDESPREAD FAMINE, economic dependence on the West, debts worth billions of US dollars, cultural alienation, rural poverty, inappropriate development these are some of the problems that still confront the Third World after years of independence from their colonial masters.
These problems are discussed in this book which is based on the Declaration of an international conference on Third World affairs. held in Penang in November 1984. The Conference, the theme of which was "The Third World: Development or Crisis?' discussed and analysed the structural problems facing the Third World today. The book is, in effect, a summary of the collective and collaborative thinking based on the rich experience of about a hundred leading activists, thinkers and writers on Third World affairs who participated in the Conference.
