By examining Amilcar Cabral s theories and praxes, as well as
several of the antecedents and major influences on the evolution of
his radical politics and critical social theory, Concepts of
Cabralism: Amilcar Cabral and Africana Critical Theory
simultaneously reintroduces, chronicles, and analyzes several of
the core characteristics of the Africana tradition of critical
theory. Reiland Rabaka s primary preoccupation is with Cabral s
theoretical and political legacies that is to say, with the ways in
which he constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed theory and
the aims, objectives, and concrete outcomes of his theoretical
applications and discursive practices. The book begins with the
Negritude Movement, and specifically the work of Leopold Senghor,
Aime Cesaire, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Next, it shifts the focus to
Frantz Fanon s discourse on radical disalienation and revolutionary
decolonization. Finally, it offers an extended engagement of Cabral
s critical theory and contributions to the Africana tradition of
critical theory. Ultimately, Concepts of Cabralism chronicles and
critiques, revisits and revises the black radical tradition with an
eye toward the ways in which classical black radicalism informs, or
should inform, not only contemporary black radicalism, African
nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, but also contemporary efforts to
create a new anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-capitalist,
anti-colonialist, and anti-imperialist critical theory of
contemporary society what has come to be called Africana critical
theory. "
