Unity and Struggle - Paperback
by Am?lcar Cabral (Author), Basil Davidson (Introduction by), Michael Wolfers (Translator)
One of the world's greatest revolutionary leaders, Am?lcar Cabral's long and arduous campaign for the liberation of Portuguese-dominated Africa is explored in this vivid compilation of his most influential speeches and writings.
Unity and Struggle is the compelling account of Am?lcar Cabral's fight against imperialism, discrimination and injustice, as well as his progressive advocacy for religious toleration and gender equality - all of which combined to make him one of Africa's foremost political leaders. Introduction by Basil Davidson. 'One of the most lucid and brilliant leaders in Africa' Fidel CastroAm?lcar Cabral was born in 1924 in Guinea-Bissau to Cape Verdean parents. He was an agricultural engineer, anticolonial theorist, and an inspiration to revolutionary socialists and national independence movements worldwide.
Cabral helped to found and lead the anticolonial guerrilla movement during the Guinea-Bissau war of independence and, in 1956, launched the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde which garnered overwhelming power and influence before their eventual triumph over the Portuguese colonialists.
Although integral to its success, Am?lcar Cabral would never live to see an independent Guinea-Bissau. In 1973, Cabral was assassinated months before the independence forces were declared victorious.
