On the centennial of Amílcar Cabral's birth, and fifty years after his passing, Claim No Easy Victories brings to life the resonance of his thought for today's freedom movements.
Never has it been more certain that our victory depends principally on our own actions. Tell no lies, claim no easy victories . . . Amílcar Cabral
World-renowned revolutionary, poet, liberation philosopher, and leader of the anticolonial independence movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, Amílcar Cabral's 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 agesand 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 Cabral's 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 Cabral's 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.
