DEBATING LAND IN AFRICA: AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF COLONIALISM AND NEOLIBERALISM IN GUINEA-BISSAU’S AGRARIAN TRANSITION

Journal Title: Brazilian Journal of African Studies - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 10

Abstract

The present article presents and problematizes the agrarian question in the African continent in general - correlated with the specific experience of Guinea-Bissau from the neoliberal period. An attempt was made to present a historical radiography that marked the land debate on the continent and continues today, mobilizing several authors from different regions of Africa and confronting them with the cabralist perspectives (Amílcar Cabral) on how agriculture and industry should stimulate each other, in balance and harmony, also considering the issue of gender/work, to leverage the African peasantry. Constituting an ongoing research, we mobilized some authors for the debate but without exhausting their thinking. Our analytical stance sought to adopt a more introductory and less complex approach to discussions, incurring all the risks that this methodical strategy presents. However, we hope to have provided the input for understanding the debate on land in Africa.
