Посебна пажња посвећена је сарадњи Југославије и афричких земаља и то на пољу: музелогије, књижевности, фестивала, гостовања уметника и интелектуалаца, организованих изложби и стварања институција за сарадњу. Истакнуте су главне институције и облици сарадње. Рад садржи и преглед и интерпретације несврстаног наслеђа поводом шездесете годишњице Београдске конференције несврстаних земаља, посебно приказ двеју најважнијих изложби организованих тим поводом-Музеја афричке уметности Несврстани свет и Музеја Југославије Прометеји новог века. Посебно су обрађене и могућности културне дипломатије данас, а које узимају у обзир неке скорије примере сарадње из земље и региона.

A Contribution to Researching the Image of the Other
This article argues for the examination of students from Africa and their experiences
in Yugoslavia in a global, socialist and nonaligned context. Being a part of a larger movement of African diaspora towards Europe, including the socialist bloc opens oportunities for
comparation. However, some of the existing work on the topic, or articles and books that use
the „position“ and image of African students in Yugoslavia for a broader argument, eschew
the historical context or do not provide evidence for their wide reaching theories. Students
from African countries came to Yugoslavia in thousands in search for education. Their stay
was marked by forming specific images of the Other. While in the sixties, the state tried to
enforce more control both on the students and the images, using them as anti-colonial icons,
from c. 1968 these perceptions diversified. Contratry to some claims, racism was not rampant,
cultural supermacy was not the basis of the image of African students. Quite the opposite,
evidence suggest that the specific postion of Yugoslavia benefited the image of Africans as
part of nonaligned world, and an internal confirmation of Yugoslavia’s global role. True, the
relative liberalization of Yugoslavia enabled various images to circulate more freely than in
the Eastern Bloc, but the overhelming majority of Yugoslavs nurtured postive images of Africans. As testified in grassroots solidarity actions, youth surveys, and the activites of Clubs
of international friendship, Yugoslavs continued to form images of African students based
on international solidarity

It contextualizes the travelogues both within Yugoslavia and the tides of afro-optimism and afro-pessimism as well as numerous other Cold War phenomena. It also uses the travelogues to establish an auto-representation of Yugoslavia visa -vis Africa

The liberation of Algeria in the summer of 1962 was accompanied by an-ever-more complex situation in Central, Southern, and Eastern Africa where decolonization was stopped in its tracks and sometimes rolled back. Anticolonial movements gained new strength and anticolonial textspamphlets, revolutionary programmes, and various calls to actioncirculated widely throughout guerrilla camps and émigré communities. These movements were deemed "counter-hegemonic" in the long 1960s. 1 They carried a potent revolutionary zealinspired by each successful revolution, their victories were "etched" in a common history of resistance and struggle:
Komunisti i komunističke partije: politike, akcije, debate, (ur.) Duda, Igor, CKPIS-Srednja Evropa, Pula, 2019

To najčešće nisu bili komunistički pokreti, a nekada su čak ti pokreti surovo proganjali komunistički pokret. Posmatrajući pokrete u Egiptu, Alžiru, Gani i Gvineji u ovom periodu, pokušali smo da damo jednu uporednu analizu koja odgovara na ključno pitanje: koji su bili ključni jugoslovenski argumenti u određivanju progresivnosti pokreta, država i državnika u Trećem svetu? Partijski arhivi u tom smislu nude bogatstvo informacija koje crpimo iz diskusija Komisije za međunarodne odnose i veze sa inostranstvom CK SKJ. To telo bilo je najuticajniji partijiski forum gde su se često sučeljavala mišljenja različitih frakcija i ličnosti, povodom klasifikacije pokreta, te delanja prema njima. Prirodno, partijsko-državna sprega u nekim slučajevim pokazala se kao presudnom u tome odnosu, a ideološka pozadina delovanja jugoslovenskih komunista, dovoljno široka da bude praktična na heterogenom prostoru hladnoratovske Afrike.

Kroz kritičko ispitivanje glavnih tokova, oblasti i polja istoriografije, zatim obrazovanje i delovanje autora, odnos politike i istorije, drugih nauka i istorije obrađuje se kompleksna tematika proučavanja „Trećeg sveta“ koja se u Jugoslaviji pojavljuje: samostalno, kroz monografije i naučne članke; u vidu poglavlja ili podpoglavlja u sintezama istorije Jugoslavije; u vidu odeljaka u biografijama Josipa Broza Tita; u vidu studija, istoriografskih ili politikoloških nesvrstanosti. Prihvatajući tanku i poroznu granicu između nauke i publicistike u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji, ispituju se i dela iz oblasti politikologije.

Limited to Serbian historiography of this period, it marks and presents in short the main fields of research, historians, monographic publications and published sources. Expert journals have a steady flow of journal articles about the relations of Yugoslavia and the USA. In this whole period, and especially since 2006, the chronological borders of research were shifted towards the end of the 1970s. New areas, such as American cultural influences in Yugoslavia were researched. The digital age brought a greater availability of sources to Serbian historians and their will to use it has proved them valuable members of the international scientific community. Certain successful publications in Serbia have received wide American attention. On the other hand, American historians of these relations are translated, read and criticized. An upward spiral is noticeable in both quality and quantity of research done in Serbia regarding this specific topic.

A Contribution to Researching the Image of the Other
This article argues for the examination of students from Africa and their experiences
in Yugoslavia in a global, socialist and nonaligned context. Being a part of a larger movement of African diaspora towards Europe, including the socialist bloc opens oportunities for
comparation. However, some of the existing work on the topic, or articles and books that use
the „position“ and image of African students in Yugoslavia for a broader argument, eschew
the historical context or do not provide evidence for their wide reaching theories. Students
from African countries came to Yugoslavia in thousands in search for education. Their stay
was marked by forming specific images of the Other. While in the sixties, the state tried to
enforce more control both on the students and the images, using them as anti-colonial icons,
from c. 1968 these perceptions diversified. Contratry to some claims, racism was not rampant,
cultural supermacy was not the basis of the image of African students. Quite the opposite,
evidence suggest that the specific postion of Yugoslavia benefited the image of Africans as
part of nonaligned world, and an internal confirmation of Yugoslavia’s global role. True, the
relative liberalization of Yugoslavia enabled various images to circulate more freely than in
