Résumé
Cet article évalue le livre de Reiland Rabaka, Concepts of Cabralism: Amilcar Cabral and Africana Critical Theory. Dans le contexte d’appels à la « décolonisation des connaissances » sur le continent africain, le livre est pertinent et important pour diverses raisons. En premier lieu, Rabaka retrace la généalogie de la pensée intellectuelle et politique d’Amilcar Cabral à des personnalités du Mouvement de la négritude, telles qu’Aimé Césaire et Léopold Sédar Senghor, puis à Frantz Fanon. Ce faisant, Rabaka soutient que, contrairement aux autres révolutionnaires, Cabral a évité une régurgitation sans critique du marxisme orthodoxe. Au lieu de cela, Cabral a étudié les conditions concrètes dans son pays, non seulement pour mener les luttes de libération de son peuple, mais aussi pour enrichir la théorie révolutionnaire. À cet égard, il a pu critiquer et, le cas échéant, se passer de catégories considérées comme acquises du marxisme orthodoxe. En fin de compte, Rabaka considère Cabral non seulement comme un « nationaliste révolutionnaire » et un « humaniste révolutionnaire », mais aussi comme un théoricien critique. Par conséquent, il suggère de considérer Cabral comme une contribution à la « théorie critique d’Africana ». Cet article abordera chacune de ces questions en son temps.
