Cuba, Africa, and Apartheid's End Africa's Children Return!


Cuba, Africa, and Apartheid’s End: Africa's Children Return!
examines the history and impressive dimensions of the Cuban Revolution’s solidarity with Africa. Cuba’s role in the southern African national liberation and anti-colonial struggle was the largest and most consequential manifestation of the island’s commitment to Africa. A key moment was the 1987–1988 battle of Cuito Cuanavale, which involved Cuba and Angola on one side, and South Africa and its allies on the other. Cuito Cuanavale contributed the end of apartheid and has assumed legendary status within the Cuban Revolution and the southern African liberation movement.

Hakim Adi, a leading scholar on Pan-Africanism, has written the following appraisal:

"Cuba, Africa, and Apartheid’s End is a definitive account of Cuba’s role in the liberation of southern Africa, especially South Africa and Namibia, centering on the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Isaac Saney skillfully and meticulously chronicles the internationalism of the Cuban government and its people to repay Cuba’s debt to Africa, the ancestral homeland of so many of its citizens."
