Amilcar Cabral's Pedagogy of Liberation Struggle and His Influence On FRETILIN 1975-1978

By Antero Benedito da Silva Ilustrasi: http://camalees.wordpress.com Amilcar Lopes Cabral (1924-1973) founded the Partido Africana da Independencia da Guinee e Cabo Verde (PAIGC) in 1956, and remained the head of the Party until he was tragically shot dead by Kani Inocencio, a corrupted former PAIGC comrade, in Conakry, 20 January 1973 (Chilcote 1999:xxxi). This study examines Amilcar Cabral as both a political leader and as a popular educator, and his influence on the Timorese struggle for independence. Paulo Freire, acknowledged as the leading figure in popular education in the 20th century, once commented that for Cabral, words are always in dialectical unity between action and reflection, theory and practice‘ (cited Davidson 1979:35). George Aditjondro, a left intellectual in Indonesia, has argued that the theory and praxis of Cabral and his independence movement became a primary source of inspiration for FRETILIN. In particular, Adjitondro argues that the establis...

East Timor Revisited Ford, Kissinger and the Indonesian Invasion, 1975-1976 Ford and Kissinger Gave Green Light to Indonesia's Invasion of East Timor, 1975: New Documents Detail Conversations with Suharto National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 62 Edited by William Burr and Michael L. Evans December 6, 2001 The New Evidence The Indonesian invasion of East Timor in December 1975 set the stage for the long, bloody, and disastrous occupation of the territory that ended only after an international peacekeeping force was introduced in 1999. President Bill Clinton cut off military aid to Indonesia in September 1999—reversing a longstanding policy of military cooperation—but questions persist about U.S. responsibility for the 1975 invasion; in particular, the degree to which Washington actually condoned or supported the bloody military offensive.  Most recently, journalist Christopher Hitchens raised questions about the role of former Secreta...

The Poets Fight Back: East Timorese poetry as counterdiscourse to colonial and postcolonial identities

Gambar
By Anthony Soares Oost-Timor moet vrij! Poster by Basuki Resobowo 1977 Abstract: This article examines whether the experiences of Portuguese and Indonesian colonial rule in East Timor acted as a unifying factor, creating a sense of East Timorese national identity, inspiring its poets to engage in a revolutionary and anti-colonial lyrical discourse that mirrored the aspirations of those fighting for independence. It also considers the significance of contemporary East Timorese poetry that has elements of a counterdiscourse in a postcolonial, independent East Timor, asking whether the apparent unity of anti-colonial lyric voices has fractured, and whether the disappearance of the oppressive presence of Indonesia means that there is no power that can inspire a concerted reaction amongst East Timorese poets. Finally, although the ‘other(s)’ against which the colonial and postcolonial poetic counterdiscourses of East Timor are reacting against may be different, the negati...
