Claim No Easy Victories

“The book's essayists bring some complex and interesting analysis— interlaced with Cabral's biography and an overview of his writings—to the fore. They examine the theories of class suicide and re-Africanisation, which are intrinsically linked to Cabral's revolutionary consciousness. The book’s thorough scrutiny of the impact of Cabral's struggles and African liberation movements bring perspective to his legacy and also draw attention to Black movements in the Americas, where the dialectics of culture and ideology as dissected by Cabral served as an essential tool for the unpacking of social realities. Cabral's global vision of struggle also touches on his fight for the emancipation of women, described as his rejection of that era's 'masculinist and militarist images of struggle'.” —The Africa Report

“As a collection it is a timely one and will be valuable for anyone seeking to be introduced or reacquainted with debates about revolution, colonialism and culture, nationalism, and pan-Africanism.”—Claudia Gastrow, Feminist Africa
