This book presents an alternative theory of globalization that derives not from the dominant perspective of the West, from which this process emerged, but from a critical vantage point of the Third World, which has experienced the primary burden of globalization. Milton Santos offers a critical perspective the apologists of Western hegemony are lacking, and even most scholars writing against globalization from within the globalizing world are unfamiliar with. Santos argues to consider globalization in three different ways: globalization as a fable (the world as globalizing agents make us believe), as perversity (the world as it is), and as a possibility (the world as it could be by offering an alternative theory of globalization).Brazilian geographer Milton Santos, renowned throughout Latin America and parts of Europe, has long been largely inaccessible to the English-speaking world. Until now, only one text, The Shared Space: The Two Circuits of the Urban Economy in Underdevelo

ped Countries, published in 1975, has been available in English. However, the works of Santos" most important phase, from the eighties until his death in 2001, has remained unavailable to English readers. With the translation of Toward an Other Globalization, one of the last works published by Santos in his lifetime, this situation has finally been rectified. As the title suggests, this book presents an alternative theory of globalization that derives not from the dominant perspective of the West, from which this process emerged, but from the critical vantage point of the Third World, which has borne the heaviest burdens of globalization. Santos offers a critical and uniquely first-hand perspective that is lacking not only from the apologists of Western hegemony, but from most scholars writing against this hegemony from within the globalizing world. Santos argues that we must consider globalization in three different senses: globalization as a fable (the world as globalizing agent

s make us believe), as perversity (the world as it is presently, in the throes of globalization), and as possibility (the world as it could be). What emerges from these three senses is an alternative theory of globalization that is rooted in the point of view of the global South. Santos concludes his text with a message that is optimistic, but in no sense naļve. This is, indeed, a revolutionary optimism and an other globalization.
