"The governments and peoples of Asia and Africa, represented in Bandung in 1955, declared their desire to rebuild the world order on the basis of recognition of the rights of the hitherto colonized nations, a negotiated recognition imposed on imperialism which was forced to adapt to it over time."

Between narrative and analysis, Samir Amin, in this second part of his memoirs, takes a tour around the world, visiting different countries and explaining what he considers the details of the imperialist project, specifically the American one. A project that, in his opinion, began after the Potsdam Conference, in alliance with Europe and occupied Japan. Military superiority; multinational corporations; client ruling classes; critique of the application of socialism in the Soviet Union and China... On the other hand, leftist militants and progressive analysts, friends of the author, and a permanent revolution that does not retreat... This is what we read in this book, rich in beautiful description, simplified analysis, and even amusing events.

Samir Amin is an Egyptian economist, thinker, and Marxist writer. He is the president of the Arab Research Center in Cairo and director of the Third World Forum in Dakar, Senegal. He has written extensively on economics, history, and sociology. The first part of these memoirs was published by Dar Al Saqi under the title "My Memoirs".
