Amilcar Cabral: A Political Life in Motion

Amílcar Cabral: an agronomist, a poet, a politician, a leader of his party,
a life that led a revolution to victory against colonialism.
Known to many as 'The Engineer,' Amílcar Cabral was dedicated to
putting study to action, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to being
with and learning from the people. From organising in his youth,
to examining the struggles in Vietnam and writing on culture, these
experiences armed Cabral with the skills and vision necessary to build
up the revolutionary party that would free Guinea and Cape Verde.
Standing at the helm of African resistance to Portuguese colonialism, his
life sadly cut short by colonial forces, Cabral leaves behind a legacy of
political clarity and determination, offering us all a trove of experiences
and a model of commitment to the liberation of working people.
Mário de Andrade, a founding member of the People's Movement for the
Liberation of Angola, as well as Cabral's long-time friend and comrade,
follows the arc of Cabral's political thought as it transforms over the
course of his life. Presented in its first ever English translation, Amílcar
Cabral: A Political Life in Motion is a portrait of a keen and agile leader
who knew that to lead the people was to know them.
