At the heart of Amílcar Cabral’s philosophy lies culture, viewed as a fundamental driver of national liberation and collective emancipation.
For Cabral, culture is not merely an aesthetic, folkloric, or heritage-based phenomenon: it is the very expression of a people’s history and the foundation of their resistance to domination. How does Cabral define culture? And why does he view it as inseparable from any political project of emancipation?
This discussion revisits a central aspect of his thought and examines its relevance today.
Featuring Firoze Manji, activist, publisher, and researcher; Maria-Benedita Basto, associate professor; and Valérie Nivelon, journalist at RFI.
