Anti-imperialist militancy, bolstered by international solidarity, would lead to not only the national liberation of oppressed peoples but universal emancipation, shattering the division between the prosperous nations of the capitalist West and the poorer countries of the Global South.\u003cbr\u003eThe idea was Third Worldism, and among others it inspired struggles in Iran and Palestine. By the early 1980s, however, progressive visions of independence and freedom had fallen to the reality of an oppressive Islamic theocracy in Iran, while the Palestinian Revolution had been eclipsed by civil war in Lebanon, Israeli aggression and intra-Arab conflict.\u003cbr\u003eThis thought-provoking volume explores the dramatic decline of Third Worldism in the Middle East. It reveals the lived realities of the time by focusing on the key protagonists     from student activists to guerrilla fighters, and from volunteer nurses to militant intellectuals     and juxtaposes the Iranian and Palestinian cases to offer a riveting re-examination of this defining era. Ultimately, it challenges us to reassess how we view the end of the long 1960s, prompting us to reconsider perennial questions concerning self-determination, emancipation, change and solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction- The Transformation of Third Worldism in the Middle East\u003cbr\u003eSune Haugbolle and Rasmus Elling\u003cbr\u003e1 Demystifying Third World Solidarity- Cuba and the Palestinian Revolution in the Seventies\u003cbr\u003eSorcha Thomson\u003cbr\u003e2 Nursing the Revolution- Norwegian Medical Support in Lebanon as Solidarity, 1976   1983\u003cbr\u003ePelle Valentin Olsen\u003cbr\u003e3 Searching for Friends Across the Global South- Classified Documents, Iran, and the Export of the Revolution in 1983\u003cbr\u003eSimon Wolfgang Fuchs\u003cbr\u003e4 Translation, Revolutionary Praxis, and the Enigma of Manuchehr Hezarkhani\u003cbr\u003eNasser Mohajer and Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi\u003cbr\u003e5 The Gendered Politics of Dead Bodies- Obituaries, Revolutionaries, and Martyrs between the Iranian, Palestinian, and Dhufar Revolutions\u003cbr\u003eMarral Shamshiri-Fard\u003cbr\u003e6 Brothers, Comrades, and the Quest for the Islamist International- The First Gathering of Liberation Movements in Revolutionary Iran\u003cbr\u003eMohammad Ataie\u003cbr\u003e7 The 'ends' of the Palestinian revolution in the Fakhani Republic\u003cbr\u003eSune Haugbolle\u003cbr\u003e8 The Islamic Republic Party and the Palestinian Cause, 1979   80- A Discursive Transformation of the Third Worldist Agenda\u003cbr\u003eMaryam Alemzadeh\u003cbr\u003e9 The Front of our Friends- Shu'un Falastiniyya as an Archive of Palestinian Third Worldism\u003cbr\u003eKlaudia Wieser\u003cbr\u003e10 Fragile Solidarity- The Iranian Left and the Kurdish National Question in the 1979 Revolution\u003cbr\u003eRasmus C.
