Current Issue
Amílcar Cabral, a leading figure in the struggle against colonialism and an unavoidable intellectual force in the fight for independence in Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and beyond, remains an influential reference for the study of contemporary Africa. As we celebrate his 100th anniversary, Cabral's legacy presents itself as a multifaceted tapestry encompassing strategic, relational, inspirational, and postcolonial dimensions, presenting ideological frameworks that served as powerful tools to challenge colonial rule, emphasising the fusion of national liberation with cultural resurgence far beyond the historical context of Guinea and Cape Verde. This thematic edition focuses on Cabral's influential personality as a fundamental lens, exploring various analytical trajectories to clarify his role in the evolution of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde's sovereignty.
