Assonâncias: solidariedade cultural entre os movimentos anticolonialistas italianos e os PALOP através das figuras de Joyce Lussu e Amílcar Cabral

Abstract

The article investigates the cultural solidarity between the italian anti-colonialist movements and the African Countries with Portuguese Official Language (PALOP) through Amílcar Cabral and Joyce Lussu, to integrate the interconnections’ map during the african liberation processes (1961-1974). This paper intertwines Cabral and Lussu biographies and it probes the pivotal elements of their thinking: culture, language and poetry in the liberation struggle to demonstrate a correspondence with the themes examined during the Second Congress of Black Writers and Artists in 1959.
