How can a people overthrow 500 years of colonial oppression? What can be done to decolonize mentalities, economic structures, and political institutions? In this book, which consists of two never-before translated texts, the African revolutionary Amilcar Cabral explores these and other questions. These texts demonstrate his frank and insightful directives to his comrades in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde's party for independence, as well as reflections on culture and combat written one year prior to his assassination by the Portuguese secret police. As one of the most important and successful African revolutionary leaders in the 20th century, and justly compared in importance to Frantz Fanon, Cabral's thoughts and instructions as articulated here help us to rethink important issues concerning nationalism, culture, vanguardism, revolution, liberation, colonialism, race, and history. The volume also includes two introductory essays, the first situating Cabral's work within broader debates on decoloniality, alternative critical theories, and radical politics, and the second situating these texts in the context of Cabral's other writings and their historical and political context.
