“The African people are poor, not because of primitivity, but because of robbery, piracy. The African people have been and are still being mugged. The mugger is the West. Robbery, says Cabral, is not incidental to the Western way of life: it is central. From the African point of view it is a perverted philosophy that calls the pirate civilized and his victim primitive.”
