From Third Cinema to Media Justice: Third World Majority and the Promise of Third Cinema may become a book, but it will begin here as a digital edited collection of scholarship, reflections, and analysis about the archival material it makes available. Its target audience is scholars, students, media-makers, activists, and organizers interested in histories and theories of political media, contemporary deployments of new media in the service of on- going movements for social and economic justice, and critical theories of film and media. It will include an online archive of the documents, videos, and other media generated by Third World Majority. These will be the source material and focus of a variety of essays by scholars and activists. The archive will be foregrounded within a “reader”-driven organizational structure that allows readers or users to learn by exploring the archive and reading the collected essays, about the history and theory of Third Cinema (an influential, politicized, film movement that started in Latin America in the late 1960s); the relationship of Third World Majority to that history and theory; and, what an analysis of Third World Majority offers to existing scholarship and activism about the relationships between digital media production, people of color, and social movements.
