define "representation" that relates to the literatures of the global north and global south
Answers
Answer:
The Global South is a term often used to identify lower income countries on one side of the so-called global North–South divide, the other side being the countries of the Global North.[1] As such the term does not inherently refer to a geographical south; for example, most of the Global South is actually within the Northern Hemisphere.[1]

The term, as used by governmental and development organizations, was first introduced as a more open and value free alternative to "Third World"[2] and similar potentially "valuing" terms like developing countries. Countries of the Global South have been described as newly industrialized or in the process of industrializing and frequently have a history of colonialism by Northern, often European states. The countries of Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Mexico have the largest populations and economies among Southern states.[3] The overwhelming majority of these countries are located in or near the tropics.
