E-Resource: 1955 Bandung Conference Bulletins

David Webster Discussion

Dear H-Diplo Colleagues: 

As some government leaders gather in Bandung, Indonesia, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1955 African-Asian conference, it seemed like a useful time to share the Bandung conference bulletin. Ten issues were produced: two leading up to the conference, one daily while the leaders of what would be dubbed the "Third World" met, as well as one follow-up issue. Each contained conference documents, profiles of delegates from the 29 governments represented, sumamries of world press comment on the conference, and other material. The African-Asian Bulletin was published in English by the Indonesian Ministry of Information. 

The conference bulletins are posted as PDF files, along with some other material related to the Bandung conference: https://bandung60.wordpress.com.

More materials will be added (and suggestions on materials to add are more than welcome!)
