Amilcar Cabral and the Liberation Struggle: Education as the Corners for Revolution

Join militant historian Sónia Vaz Borges for a lecture on the revolutionary struggle of the PAIGC and life and legacy of Amilcar Cabral.

“The people of ‘Portuguese’ Guinea took up arms to free their country from colonial domination in 1963, under the leadership of the Partido Africano da Independencia da Guiné e Cabo Verde (PAIGC). Amilcar Cabral, the founder of the PAIGC, saw the necessity of freeing their country from Portuguese colonial domination. The experiences of other liberation movements, the growth of neo-colonialism in the newly ‘independent’ African countries, and above all the development of the movement within Guinea itself made clear the necessity of a true socialist revolution if any real change was to be made.

To revolutionary movements throughout the world, the struggle in Guinea is of prime importance as an outstanding illustration of the need to study one’s own concrete conditions and to make the revolution according to these conditions, rather than relying on the experience of others, valuable as this may be.”

-From Amilcar Cabral – Revolution in Guinea Bissau. An African People’s Struggle. London: Stage 1. 1969

Economists use exponential functions to model economic growth. The human population is presently growing exponentially. However, any exponential growth that continues indefinitely would eventually expand faster than the speed of light, in direct violation of the known laws of physics.
