Claim No Easy Victories: The Legacy of Amílcar Cabral - Paperback
by Firoze Manji (Editor), Bill Fletcher Jr (Editor)
On the centennial of Amílcar Cabral's birth, and fifty years after his passing, Claim No Easy Victories brings to life the resonance of his thought for today's freedom movements. World-renowned revolutionary, poet, liberation philosopher, and leader of the anticolonial independence movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, Amílcar Cabral's legacy stretches well beyond the shores of West Africa. His profound influence on the pan-Africanist movement and the Black liberation movement in the United States and the English-speaking world spans the ages--and is only growing in an era of renewed anti-imperialist internationalist struggle. In this unique collection of essays, radical thinkers from across Africa, the United States, and internationally commemorate Cabral's life and legacy and his relevance to contemporary struggles for self-determination and emancipation.
