Okay.
Walter TurnerHOST
The name I think that we most often hear associated with the struggle, the PAIGC, is Amilcar Cabral.
Walter TurnerHOST
And I think you mentioned in there that somewhere in your intro there you're talking about – You know, that this is about more, this is a different picture just simply from Amilcar Cabral.
Walter TurnerHOST
As we move from Amilcar Cabral, why does Cabral, the Secretary General of the PAIGC, why does he receive such prominence? And how much of it was a challenge to write about this struggle and for it to not necessarily focus on Cabral?
Sonia Vaz-BorgesGUEST
Well, that was a huge challenge.
Sonia Vaz-BorgesGUEST
not to erase Cabral from the book, because that's impossible, but not to make him the center of the book, as normally his geography is made of him, most of the books.

Sonia Vaz-BorgesGUEST
And I actually didn't want to analyze school manuals without having a background.
Sonia Vaz-BorgesGUEST
So I decided I'm going to search in the documents what names came up.
NickGUEST
Oh, that's really cool." You know? So like, you know, we, we've put all our cards on the table.
NickGUEST
I think there's a, there's a great, um, quote from, uh, the first president of, uh, of Guinea-Bissau, Amilcar Cabral, that says, you know, "Tell no lies and claim no easy victories." Right?
LynnGUEST
Yeah.
NickGUEST
And like in the entirety of this campaign, we have done our damnedest to tell the truth to these tenants and to be upfront with them, right? And like that shows.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
what the essence of our democracy is because we need to do that.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
At this stage, any kind of situation is not going to lead to a democratic process of what Amilcar Cabral says, people want good things about their children, education, living better lives.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
They want peace.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
They want all those things.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
It's water, it's sanitation.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
But their level of experience of democracy will be different, and therefore the manifestos will be different.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
But in the end, they'll be very forceful in capturing what Amilcar Cabral says.
Pali LehohlaGUEST
And then they'll reflect themselves in that democracy.
Nick EstesGUEST
He was, like, living in Geneva at the time.
Nick EstesGUEST
He had connected with a lot of, like, Third World revolutionaries, like Amilcar Cabral.
Nick EstesGUEST
He had helped, uh, the Treaty Council connect with all of these movements, right? And so in that sense, he did play that role of, of mediating these relationships and helping set up that 1977 gathering.
Nick EstesGUEST
Um, but then he also begins to get internally red-baited, right? Um, and then he ends up leaving, um, the group.
Mose ChikoweroGUEST
Uh, the war of liberation was a people's war.
Mose ChikoweroGUEST
Uh, and as, you know, writers like Amílcar Cabral in Guinea-Bissau and elsewhere, uh, have told us, you know, a people's culture is really key, uh, to not just liberation, but also to making nations.
Mose ChikoweroGUEST
So the collective histories and the collectivity of the expressiveness of joy tell us about a particular state of being, uh, which we can define as independence.
Mose ChikoweroGUEST
Uh, so it is these energies, it is, uh, the presence and core presence as people sang, 19 s- uh, in 1980, April 17 and 18.
Jaribu HillHOST
In this episode, we are talking about the power of art.
Jaribu HillHOST
We're talking about what Amilcar Cabral, the slain leader of Guinea-Bissau, once said, culture is the seed of resistance.
Jaribu HillHOST
It is also defense.
Jaribu HillHOST
And so we know that what Cabral meant when he said that, we have found at least one powerful example of that in the form of theater and dramatic arts and theater that you would know is rooted in the community, is rooted in the issues that people face every day, is rooted in Black artistry and excellence, is rooted in HBCU culture because it is housed on Jackson State University's campus.
