This edition features 17 publishers from various countries in the Global South, as well as the Amílcar Cabral Foundation of Cape Verde and the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. These texts highlight the importance of the Russian Revolution and Lenin’s legacy for anti-colonial struggles, particularly for the liberation movements in Africa during the 1970’s. This book includes an introduction by Desmond Fonseca that contextualizes Amílcar Cabral’s life and thought within the history of Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and the leftist movement. In addition, the texts by Luiz Fonseca, president of the Amílcar Cabral Foundation in Cape Verde, and João Pedro Stedile, a member of the coordinating committee of Brazil’s Landless Rural Workers’ Movement, highlight the importance and relevance of Amílcar Cabral’s thought and praxis for social struggles today.
