Summary:

For over four decades, the Cold War superpowers endeavored mightily to ""win hearts and minds"" abroad through public diplomacy. Hearts, Minds, Voices explores how the non-European world responded to this media war by joining it, rejecting the Cold War in favor of forging an imagined community grounded in nonalignment, economic development, and racialized solidarity: the ""Third World.""
