"The book's underlying idea is that the Soviet Union was engaged in a postcolonial venture before the term became fashionable, focusing on the Afro-Asian Writers Association (1958–91) and the biennial Tashkent Film Festival for African, Asian, and Latin American film (1968–88), where filmmakers gathered to learn and exchange revolutionary ideas.
