Claim No Easy Victories: The Legacy of Amilcar Cabral

Description: Claim No Easy Victories by Firoze Manji, Bill Fletcher On the centennial of Amlcar Cabrals birth, and fifty years after his passing,Claim No Easy Victoriesbrings to life the resonance of his thought for todays freedom movements."Never has it been more certain that our victory depends principally on our own actions. Tell no lies, claim no easy victories . . ." -Amlcar CabralWorld-renowned revolutionary, poet, liberation philosopher, and leader of the anticolonial independence movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, Amlcar Cabrals 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 Cabrals life and legacy and his relevance to contemporary struggles for self-determination and emancipation. Claim No Easy Victories serves equally as an introduction or reintroduction to a figure and militant history that the rulers and beneficiaries of global racial capitalism would rather see forgotten. Understanding Cabral then and now sheds light on the necessity of grounding radical change in the creation of theory based on the actual conditions within which movements develop. The depth and dimension of Cabrals theoretical ideas and revolutionary practice of building popular movements for liberation are assessed by each of the authors and critically reanimated for a new generation of freedom fighters.The book features contributions by: Kali Akuno, Samir Amin, David Austin, Jesse Benjamin, Angela Davis, Bill Fletcher Jr, Mireille Fanon-Mends France, Lewis Gordon, Firoze Manji, Asha Rodney, Patricia Rodney, Olfmi Tw-and others.

Review "The books essayists bring some complex and interesting analysis— interlaced with Cabrals biography and an overview of his writings—to the fore. They examine the theories of class suicide and re-Africanisation, which are intrinsically linked to Cabrals revolutionary consciousness. The books thorough scrutiny of the impact of Cabrals struggles and African liberation movements bring perspective to his legacy and also draw attention to Black movements in the Americas, where the dialectics of culture and ideology as dissected by Cabral served as an essential tool for the unpacking of social realities. Cabrals global vision of struggle also touches on his fight for the emancipation of women, described as his rejection of that eras masculinist and militarist images of struggle." —The Africa Report"As a collection it is a timely one and will be valuable for anyone seeking to be introduced or reacquainted with debates about revolution, colonialism and culture, nationalism, and pan-Africanism."—Claudia Gastrow, Feminist Africa Promotional Key publicity targetsInterview in Lux MagazineReview in Spectre JournalReview in The Paris ReviewInterview in Jacobin MagazineReview Tribune MagazineSocial media marketing campaignEndorsement and pre-publication reviewsPublisher giveaways to drive engagement and sales Details ISBN1942173849 Author Bill Fletcher Publisher Common Notions Format Paperback Language English ISBN-10 1942173849 ISBN-13 9781942173847 Imprint Common Notions Edited by Bill Fletcher Place of Publication Matawan Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2023-11-02 Pages 490 Subtitle The Legacy of Amilcar Cabral - 2nd Edition Audience General DEWEY 966.5702092 Year 2024 Publication Date 2024-02-15 UK Release Date 2024-02-15 AU Release Date 2024-06-04 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
