SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Talk: “The Russian Revolution as the Mirror of Third World Aspirations” by Vijay Prashad"
DESCRIPTION:"\rPart of the CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series\r\rWhat did the Russian Revolution look like from India or Egypt or Southern Africa? What aspirations did it carry, what sentiment did it hold for people held in thrall of European colonialism? Why was it that these anti-colonial movements celebrated when Japan defeated the Tsarist forces in 1904 and then when the ordinary Russian people rose up in 1905?  Why did Gandhi, sitting in South Africa, praise the rebels of 1905 and see in them something to emulate? What then did ‘1917’ mean to the emergent Third World Project? These are the questions central to this presentation.\r\rThe CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.\r\rThis Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center in conjunction with the Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Department of African American Studies, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, European Union Center, Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, Program in Comparative and World Literature, and the Spurlock Museum.\r"
