Title: | Mantenhas para quem luta! Evoking the liberation struggle in postcolonial Guinea-Bissau | Authors: | Rodrigues, Inês Nascimento | Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Routledge | Serial title, monograph or event: | The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles: Memory, Politics and Uses of the Past | Place of publication or event: | Abingdon and New York | Abstract: | This chapter identifies the ways in which the idea of the “liberation struggle” has become an operative concept, weaving renewed networks of meaning around this and other moments in Guinea-Bissau's (post)colonial journey. Although still haunted by certain spectres from the war, the liberation struggle essentially refers to a space and time of promises to be redeemed and remains a relevant mnemonic subject that is mobilised in different historical contexts and for different political purposes. This chapter demonstrates how the experience of the struggle has been established as a significant memory with a critical and redemptive function, which Guinea-Bissau returns to repeatedly to define possibilities for a more just present and future. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/115006 | ISBN: | 9781003396925 | DOI: | 10.4324/9781003396925-5 | Rights: | openAccess |
