  • Non-Alignment, Yugoslav diplomacy and the establishment of cross-cultural links with Africa
    Ramšak, Jure
    For Yugoslav diplomats, the “Non-Aligned” African continent repre-sented a terrain where their country needed to demonstrate, through various engagements, its commitment to Non-Alignment, which was ... first and foremost a concept of a new, non-hierarchical type of international relations. In addition to promoting political and economic cooperation, this involved cultural diplomacy, which—understaffed and insufficiently materially supported—was facing competitors from both the capitalist and socialist bloc in the newly created African countries. Drawing on materials from the federal and republican foreign affairs bodies, this paper shows how Yugoslav diplomats in each of the highlighted Sub-Saharan countries found themselves in the role of cultural mediators by way of analysing their understanding of post-colonial cultural realities and tracing those cultural manifestations, on both sides, that they helped organise. By shining a light on the work of a broader community of experts working in the field of cultural cooperation on the Yugoslav side, the discussion also focuses on the ambi guous process of shaping the imaginary of African cultures within Yugoslavia and on the discourses reflecting the common aspirations of the European-African peripheries towards cultural self-assertion and transcending the established monopolies.
