An excellent short history of Amilcar Cabral's development as a revolutionary and his political thought. Definitely not an exhaustive study of the revolution in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, but still an excellent summary of Cabral's political struggle. A lot of solid lessons that are still generally applicable for organizers today.

Also on a personal note, I'd love to read more materialist studies of the history of the former Portuguese colonies following their liberation, to analyze their different paths of development and struggles with world imperialism over the last fifty years. The death grip of neocolonialism in Africa since the fall of the USSR has been nearly total, and an analysis of how that's all played out these last few decades is definitely an area I need to learn more about.

Siempre es importante aprender más sobre los movimientos de liberación de otros pueblos. En este caso se trata sobre Guinea-Bisáu 🇬🇼 y la lucha de Amílcar Cabral contra el colonialismo portugués.

a good book but it really should be longer and providing more context. That being said i did enjoy learning about anti-colonial resistance to portugal and how portugal was not wealthy enough to create neo-colonies like France or Britain did.
