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

Cracking Ancient Codes: Cuneiform Writing - with Irving Finkel

Writing is generally agreed to be among the greatest inventions in human history, perhaps the greatest invention, since it made history possible.

You can read more about Irving's quest to explore the Noah's Ark myth in "The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood": https://geni.us/zU95bVO
or learn more about cuneiform writing in "Cuneiform": https://geni.us/eMPb

Writing seems to have been invented in the late fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia in the form of wedge-shaped marks pressed into soft clay with a reed stylus: the script known as cuneiform. Through his work on this ancient language, Irving Finkel, has uncovered amazing secrets from over five thousand years ago, including the story behind Noah’s ark.

Irving Finkel is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia at the British Museum, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection of any modern museum. This work involves reading and translating all sorts of inscriptions, sometimes working on ancient archives to identify manuscripts that belong together, or even join to one another. He is the author of The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood.

This talk was filmed in the Ri on 18 January 2019.
