Abstract

The Third World News Review (TWNR) was a community-led news program based at the University of California, Santa Barbara that provided a counter-narrative news source aimed at destabilizing the ways in which mainstream media outlets report on politics and foreign policy in the so-called Third World. TWNR was conceived by Cedric Robinson, Corey Dubin, and Gerard Pigeon; and was produced by Elizabeth Robinson and Beth Anderson. The Cedric J. Robinson and Elizabeth P. Robinson Collection on Third World News Review (dated 1981-2015) consists of materials documenting the creation, production, and distribution of TWNR. Materials include scripts and notes for episodes, as well as research materials mainly consisting of news articles from other media sources. The majority of the collection consists of recordings of full episodes originally recorded in analog and electronic formats, including audiocassettes, VHS tapes, U-Matic tapes, and digital files on optical discs.

Biographical Note on Cedric Robinson

Cedric Robinson (1940-2016) was a radical and a cross-disciplinary theorist; a political scientist; a scholar of media and film studies; a co-creator and producer of multiple long-standing left community media outlets; an educator and professor; and an activist and organizer dedicated to international solidarity movements. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, he became the director of the Center for Black Studies Research. He was the author of multiple texts including, but not limited to: The Terms of Order: Political Science and the Myth of Leadership, (1980, republished in 2016); Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition, (1983, republished in 2000 and 2020); Black Movements in America (1997); and Forgeries of Memory and Meaning: Blacks and the Regimes of Race in American Theater and Film Before World War II (2007). He is well-known for theorizing the framework of racial capitalism.

Biographical Note on Elizabeth Robinson

Elizabeth Robinson is an educator and social worker; a community media-producer and former associate director for media at KCSB Radio; an organizer and activist; and the long-time host of No Alibis, a radical news outlet that provides commentary, from a left and community-based perspective, on local, national, and international stories.

Historical Note on Third World News Review

Along with University of California, Santa Barbara student Corey Dubin, Cedric Robinson created Third World News Review (TWNR), a long-standing community-led radio show on KCSB 91.9 FM that provided a counter-narrative news source aimed at destabilizing the ways in which mainstream media outlets report on politics and foreign policy in the so-called Third World. Though TWNR was initiated by Cedric Robinson, Corey Dubin, and Gerard Pigeon, the show must be more fully understood as having been produced collectively. Elizabeth Robinson, alongside Beth Anderson, was TWNR's co-producer in both its radio and television program formats. The show invited a wide range of scholarly and activist dialogue, with numerous correspondents and guests over the life of TWNR.

Third World News Review first aired in 1979 in the wake of what was known in Western media circles as the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Recognizing a general lack of understanding and awareness of international politics beyond the framing of U.S. imperialism amongst United States citizens, TWNR was born. The hour-long show ran weekly for 35 years and covered a range of subjects including the "Dirty War" in Argentina; the U.S. invasions of numerous Latin American countries; the Iraq War; the first and second intifadas in Palestine; the independence of Zimbabwe; and U.S. manipulation of elections in the Philippines, El Salvador, Afghanistan, and Venezuela. At every point in its three decades of production, TWNR supported global liberation movements — in particular, those in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. TWNR aired its last episode on October 26, 2015.

Processing Information

At the time of accessioning, materials were rehoused in archival boxes. Loose documents and documents in hanging folders were rehoused in archival folders, maintaining their original order and titles (if existing).

The collection was processed and described by an archivist in the fall of 2024. Paper materials were kept in their archival folders and boxes. Materials were arranged into two series by topic. Since materials in Series I had already been divided into date ranges, during processing, they were kept in their current order of scripts and then research materials.

47 audiovisual items were assigned media ID numbers and housed appropriately. These materials were then intellectually incorporated into Series II.

New York University Libraries follow professional standards and best practices when imaging, ingesting, and processing born-digital material in order to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the content. 592 optical discs were forensically imaged and analyzed using Isobusters. A floppy disk and flash drive were forensically imaged, analyzed, and arranged using Forensic Toolkit. The electronic records were intellectually incorporated into the finding aid.

For episodes listed in Series II, of the 523 full length episodes, 468 episodes had viewable digital copies that were reviewed. Short episode summaries were written and listed with each of the 468 episodes. This work was completed with the assistance of student workers. During the preservation process, it was also determined that of the 592 optical discs, 80 discs could not be imaged or viewed; 42 discs contained duplicate episodes; and four discs were determined to be unrelated to TWNR. All of these discs were removed from the collection.

Scope and Contents

This series, which comprises the majority of this collection, contains 523 full length radio and television episodes of Third World News Review. These episodes include the entirety of TWNR's run, with episodes airing between 2003-2015. While most episodes are available in a digital format, analog formats including audiocassette tapes, VHS, and U-Matic tapes can also be found in this series.

Each episode of TWNR focused on topics such as political unrest and government corruption in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe; military conflicts including the Iraq War, the War in Afghanistan, civil wars in Africa, and civil wars in the Middle East; American politics and intervention overseas; human rights violations in Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa; domestic and global protests and riots; international and domestic politics; the prosecution of war criminals and corrupt politicians at the Hague; and Western colonialism on the continents of Africa and Southeast Asia.

The majority of the episodes are moderated by Cedric J. Robinson, who specialized in topics related to Africa. On occasion, Elizabeth P. Robinson, who specialized in topics related to the Middle East, would also moderate the program, but she more often appeared as a correspondent. Recurring correspondents on TWNR include Gerard Pigeon, who provided the Francophone press' perspective on news stories; Hector Javkin, Ralph Ambruster-Sandoval, and Corey Dubin, all of whom specialized in topics related to Latin America; Gary Colmenar, who specialized in topics related to Asia and Southeast Asia; Katia McClain, who specialized in topics related to Central and Eastern Europe; Thomas Jacob, who specialized in topics related to Southeast Asia; and Ilya Ahmadizadeh who specialized in Spain, the Middle East, and occasionally discussed Latin America.
