La experiencia socialista en África.

Shubi Lugemalila Ishemo

Resumen


Actualmente no hay un solo país con orientación socialista en África. Los proyectos socialistas concluyeron en los ochenta. Este artículo examina dos casos: La versión “tradicional”, ejemplificada por el proyecto Tanzaniano Ujamaa, y la prolongada lucha de liberación de Mozambique y Guinea-Bissau. Se argumenta que el fracaso se debió, mayormente, al abandono del campesinado, una clase social cuya fuerza numérica habría creado condiciones materiales para la transformación socialista. Otros factores son considerados: la ascensión y monopolización del poder por la pequeña burguesía, la influencia desestabilizadora de los regímenes racistas de Sudáfrica y Rhodesia, y los “ajustes estructurales” impuestos por Occidente.


Palabras clave
