Despite our collective political independence from colonial rule, people in the Global South are still unable to access each other’s work with any degree of facility or ease. Whatever little literature is available in the published domain is restricted to the three individual continents or worse, specific countries within these three continents. Contrast this situation with the intellectual output of scholars and writers from the North: their books and titles are available not only across the North, but in the South as well, where they unfortunately tend to dominate academic and intellectual life.

MultiversityLibrary.com is the first serious effort originating from the Global South to promote and publicise the works of scholars from the three major continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America, so that these are known and made available across the board. The site is fully non-commercial and no economic benefits accrue to the persons that manage the site. We are hoping to provide the same service for films from these three continents as well.
