In Third Worlds Within, Widener expands conceptions of the struggle for racial justice by reframing antiracist movements in the United States in an international context. What connects seemingly disparate groups in their own local and global struggles? How does the fight against racism unfolds both locally and globally and creates new forms of solidarity?  What is the strategic role played by US communities of color in efforts to defeat the conjoined forces of international capitalism, racism, and imperialism?
