Mapping South-south Connections During the Decolonization Process and Cold War, 1810?1990 : The Islamicate and Ibero-american Worlds

Mapping South–South Connections during the Decolonization Process and Cold War (1810–1990): The Islamicate and Ibero-American Worlds offers a groundbreaking exploration of the period's historical, political, and cultural networks. Through interdisciplinary approaches―from diplomacy and visual culture to women’s studies and political science―this volume highlights state and non-state actors who shaped international relations beyond Euro-American paradigms. Rooted in a research project and major international conference, and enriched by additional contributions, it introduces original studies on underexplored connections between Ibero-America and the Islamicate world, often drawing on primary sources difficult to access due to geographic, linguistic, or political barriers.

Contributors are Martín Bergel, Fernando Camacho Padilla, Eudald Cortina Orero, Fernando Escribano Martín, Alberto García Molinero, Mario Matus González, Raffaele Mauriello, Reinaldo M. Sánchez Porro, Juan José Vagni, and Barış Ahmet Yörümez.

Fernando Camacho Padilla is Associate Professor of History at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
