  African Socialism | Socialism in Africa

  It is high time to give Africa its rightful place in the global historiography of socialism and to socialism its right in the History of Africa.

It offered support for the political advancement of colonial populations and the building of post-colonial States. The USSR, China, Cuba, offered ready-to-use models. Some states even tried to invent the ir own forms of African socialism, adapted to the specific conditions of Africa and true to its theoretical roots.
