One Third World Versus Two Thirds World

Mahanty: I find the language of one third world versus two thirds world as elaborated by Esteba and Suri Pragash particularly useful. She also wishes she allocated more of a place for people that exist in so-called first world places, but aren't considered among first world people like many indigenous people or some people have come to call that the fourth world. Mahanty: By focusing on quality of life as the criteria for distinguishing between social minorities and majorities, one third slash two thirds worlds draws attention to discontinuities between the haves and the have nots within the boundaries of nations.
