Though perhaps less well known than the struggles in Angola and Mozambique, the liberation war waged by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) easily ranks alongside those conflicts as an example of an African independence movement triumphing against overwhelming odds. Basil Davidson, a leading authority on Portuguese Africa who witnessed many of these events first hand, draws on his own extensive experience in the country as well as the PAIGC archives to provide a detailed and rigorous analysis of the conflict. The book also provides one of the earliest accounts of the assassination of the PAIGC's founder, Amilcar Cabral, and documents the movement's remarkable success in recovering from the death of its leader and in eventually attaining independence. Featuring a preface by Cape Verde's first president, Aristides Pereira, and a foreword by Cabral himself, No Fist is Big Enough to Hide the Sky remains an invaluable resource for the study both of the region and of African liberation struggles as a whole."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aThird World studies. 606 $aNational liberation movements$zGuinea-Bissau 606 $aNational liberation movements$zCabo Verde 606 $aAfrican history$2bicssc 607 $aGuinea-Bissau$xPolitics and government$yTo 1974 607 $aCabo Verde$xPolitics and government$yTo 1975 615 0$aNational liberation movements 615 0$aNational liberation movements 615 7$aAfrican history 676 $a966.5702 676 $a966.5802 700 $aDavidson$b Basil$f1914-2010,$0136838 801 0$bPIT 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164956503321 996 $aNo Fist Is Big Enough To Hide The Sky$9652447 997 $aUNINA
