| | Books referred to are 'In the Twilight of Revolution: The Political Theory of Amilcar Cabral' by Jock McCulloch and 'Amilcar Cabral: Revolutionary Leadership and People's War' by Patrick Chabal; books by Cabral are 'Unity and Struggle' , 'Return to the Source' and 'Revolution in Guinea: An African People's War' . Despite the apparently fragmentary nature of Cabral's work - a set of speeches, essays and the 'paravras' - the view that we shall hear more about this man is not one held in isolation. The interest, however, has been coupled with a recognition of an apparent problem with Cabral's own work, which is seen as a gulf between Cabral's theoretical explanation and the practical achievements of the struggle in Guine. Mwenda weaves through and provides a coherent analysis of this collection on Cabral. |
