Despite his late arrival in Black Africa, the work of Karl Marx is important for the analysis of the peculiarities of the historical future of the continent. This analysis requires a good use of Marxist categories. These categories must be developed and enriched in a different context, in many respects, from that of Europe in Marx's time. It is this work that Cheikh Anta Diop (1923-1986) and Amilcar Cabral (1924-1975). The first, Egyptologist, had the audacity to take a step on the track traced by the founders of historical materialism to throw light on civilizations until then considered on the fringes ofthe history of humanity; the second, political leader of the national liberation movement in Guinea Bissau and in the Cape Verde Islands, distinguished himself by his anti-dogmatic attitude towards the work of Marx, which enabled him to enrich this work and lead a struggle of victorious liberation in a country whose realities are different, in many respects, from those which enabled Marx to analyze the capitalist system of his time. |
