While the revolutionary leftist movements of the 1960s and '70s in
Europe, the United States and Latin America have been the subject
of abundant literature, similar movements that emerged in Africa
have received comparatively very little attention. This book sheds
new light on these political movements. Africa's left were
extremely active in these years. With pro-Soviet movements, Maoism,
Trotskyism, Guevarism, Pan-Africanism and the Black Panthers, the
rumble of revolution was felt across the continent. From feminist
student rebels in Nigeria to pro-democracy moments in Liberia, the
exciting and complex interplay between these many actors changed
Africa forever. Can we see echoes of these movements in African
politics today? What can we learn from the people who lived through
these decades? This unique collection will open the eyes of
leftists across the world who will find new and important insights
into an important chapter in global history.
