Guided by the concrete realities of his people, Cabral  called for a process of “re-Africanization,” a \u003ci\u003eReturn to the Source\u003c\/i\u003e.  As a new imperialism has taken hold the world over, many have hearkened  back to Return to the Source, but this time, our source of inspiration  is Cabral himself. With a system of thought rooted in an African reading  of Marx, Cabral was a deep-thinking revolutionary who applied the  principles of decolonization as a dialectic task, and in so doing became  one of the world’s most profoundly influential and effective  theoreticians of anti–imperialist struggle. Cabral and his fellow  Pan-African movement leaders catalyzed and fortified a militant wave of  liberation struggles beginning in Angola, moving through Cabral’s  homelands of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, and culminating in Mozambique  and beyond. He translated abstract theories into agile praxis and in  under just ten years steered the liberation of three–quarters of the  countryside of Guinea Bissau from Portuguese colonial domination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new, expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eReturn to the Source: Selected Texts of Amilcar Cabral\u003c\/i\u003e  we have access to Cabral’s warm and humorous informal address to the  Africa Information Service, and we revisit several of the principal  speeches Cabral delivered during visits to the United States in the  final years before his assassination in 1973, including his last written  address to his people on New Year’s Eve. Return to the Source is  essential reading for all who understand that the erasure of historical  continuity between social movements has disrupted our ability to make  the revolutionary transformation we all desperately require.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsenay Serequeberhan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48094696079611,"sku":"9781685900069","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_737691d7-22b0-4839-9160-025ac8ce2bdc.jpg?v=1770448007","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/return-to-the-source-9781685900069","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
