| Sumario: | "How was it possible for Guinea-Bissau, reputed to be one of the most backward countries in all Africa, with no access to modern technology, ideas, or organizational forms, its population suffering under one of the most repressive of all colonial regimes, to build a victorious movement for revolutionary change? A key to understanding this process lies in the writings of Amilcar Cabral, one of the great revolutionary leaders produced by the long and arduous campaign for the liberation of Portuguese-dominated Africa--of Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome. Cabral launched the Partido Africano da Independence da Guine e Cabo Verde (PAIGC) in 1956, and by 1973, when he was assassinated, his movement had effectively defeated the Portuguese colonialists. As Basil Davidson states in his introduction, 'Cabral can be recognized even now as being among the great figures of our time. We do not need to wait for history's judgment to tell us that. The evidence is available. Among this evidence are the texts that follow here'"--From book jacket. |
