The Trajectory of Liberation: Insurgencies from Portuguese Colonialism and Their Contribution to Pan-Africanism and Solidarism Within an Emerging African International Society

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The chapter will focus on three concepts: Pan-Africanism, solidarism, and nationalism since the outbreak of insurgency up to the end of the Cold War in order to understand: (a) how the Portuguese-speaking national liberation movements leaderships’ trajectories contributed to the evolution of an African international society; (b) what role, if any, did anti-colonialism and later anti-apartheid play in the consolidation of solidarism within that regional international society?; (c) what influence, if any, did external actors play in the tension between pluralism and solidarism in an African international society? The paper will argue that the trajectory of the liberation insurgencies contributed to highlighting the tensions between pluralism and solidarism within that regional international society.
