The Threat of Liberation returns to the tumultuous years of the
Cold War, when, in a striking parallel with today, imperialist
powers were seeking to institute 'regime change' and install pliant
governments. Using iconic photographs, declassified US and British
documents, and in-depth interviews, Amrit Wilson examines the role
of the Umma Party of Zanzibar and its leader, the visionary Marxist
revolutionary, Abdulrahman Mohamed Babu. Drawing parallels between
US paranoia about Chinese Communist influence in the 1960s with
contemporary fears about Chinese influence, it looks at the new
race for Africa's resources, the creation of AFRICOM and how East
African politicians have bolstered US control. The book also draws
on US cables released by Wikileaks showing Zanzibar's role in the
'War on Terror' in Eastern Africa today. The Threat of Liberation
reflects on the history of a party which confronted imperialism and
built unity across ethnic divisions, and considers the contemporary
relevance of such strategies.
