Abstract

The end of Portuguese colonialism ignited the dormant liberation struggles in South Africa and in neighbouring Namibia. Cuba was, as Piero Gleijeses argues in this important exposition on the topic, the catalyst for the transformation of the region from one dominated by white settler minority rule to single party constitutional democracies led by the former liberation movements. The author’s careful use of archival material and interviews from the three main protagonists– Cuba, the United States and South Africa – is the key distinguishing feature of this authoritative account. Covering one and a half decades, the book describes in great detail the policy initiatives, debates and reactions as the three capitals sought to shape the politics of a region on the cusp of change.
非洲的古巴
葡萄牙殖民主义的结束点燃了南非和邻国纳米比亚蛰伏的解放斗争。正如皮耶罗·格列杰西在这本重要的论述中所指出的那样,古巴是该地区从白人少数定居者统治主导到由前解放运动领导的一党宪政民主国家转变的催化剂。作者仔细使用档案材料和对三个主要国家——古巴、美国和南非——的采访,这是这本权威著作的主要特点。这本书涵盖了15年的时间,非常详细地描述了三个首都试图塑造一个处于变革尖端的地区政治的政策倡议、辩论和反应。
