Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2001. http://summit.worldcat.org/oclc/50174744.“Two questions have constantly been posed to me over these years. Those in new nations have asked, ‘Why does the US, with its own record of independence, not understand the attitudes of the Third World?’ In the US, people ask, ‘Why do the new nations exhibit such anti-American sentiments when we oppose imperialism and provide substantial help to them?'” “Whoever writes about the expressions and actions of the Third World faces immediate problems of credibility from both sides. Some may feel that dissident voices critical of the United States are overemphasized or exaggerated. I have no excuse; looking back at events I have observed I have often felt the only honest voices were those that told us what we did not want to hear. New nations often resent foreign analysis. In the developed world, those who seek to explain vagaries of the Third World are called apologists. The irrelevant question, ‘Whose side are you on?’ is frequently asked.” –David D. Newsom

Asian Internationalism: Bandung’s Echo in a Colonial Metropolis
Amrith, Sunil S. “Asian Internationalism: Bandung’s Echo in a Colonial Metropolis.” Inter-Asia Cultural Studies 6, no. 4 (December 2005): 557–69. doi:10.1080/14649370500316869.

Abstract:
This paper argues that two conflicting discourses of internationalism stood in uneasy counterpoint and contention in the Asian arena of the 1950s, reflected in the legacies of the Bandung conference. The first drew on a language of global citizenship and rights. The second saw the international system as a source of strength and support for state sovereignty, and state‐directed programmes of national development. The remainder of the paper uses the case of late‐colonial Singapore to examine the intersection of these two discourses of internationalism. An Asian internationalism, which spanned to include Africa over the course of the 1950s, became one of a stock of narratives that made Singapore’s ‘everyday cosmopolitanism’ possible, in the worlds of the hawkers, the dockworkers and the agriculturalists. The political aspirations of these groups were sacrificed, ultimately, to the goal of disciplined national development, supported by an international order that had closed in to defend the interests of state power.
