Description
We still have a lot to learn from the politics of Eduardo Mondlane, Amílcar Cabral, Walter Rodney, Andrée Blouin. We might yet build something new from their political thought, something which clings on to the utopian promise of freedom and refuses to let go. ‘Provocative and polemical, Red Africa probes the limits of contemporary discourses of Black studies and returns to the neglected histories of Marxism on the continent, finding resources for charting new emancipatory futures’ - Adom Getachew, author of Worldmaking after Empire ‘A fiercely argued case for looking to the anticolonialism and Marxism of Red Africa in our current engagements with decolonisation. Okoth’s critical assessment of certain variants of "decolonial studies" and "Afro-pessimism" is welcome’ - Priyamvada Gopal, author of Insurgent Empire ‘This is an important defence of the emancipatory politics of Eduardo Mondlane, Amilcar Cabral, Frantz Fanon and Walter Rodney from the reactionary perspectives of Afro-pessimism and African nationalism, raising the question of whether things might indeed have turned out differently had radical women such as Andrée Blouin been more intimately connected with the struggle for self-determination’ - Firoze Manji, co-editor of Claim No Easy Victories: The Legacy of Amilcar Cabral
