This work aims to analyze the development of Amílcar Cabral's (1924 - 1973) thought at the head of the PAIGC (African Independence Party of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde) in the context of the struggle against Portuguese neocolonialism. Understanding the way in which Salazar's regime operated as a general dimension of domination is necessary because it is interconnected with the new contradictions arising from it for the particular reality of the territories of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. To analyze the Portuguese neo-colonial model in order to understand the impacts of this specific form on its colonies, the concept of power bloc was used as a theoretical-methodological resource (POULANTZAS, 2019) and the categories developed from it to think about the Lusitanian State that made possible the regime and its durability. This preceding general analysis fulfills the objective of being understood a posteriori, the construction of Amílcar Cabral's materialism as an integrated part of this historical-sociological process, as well as pointing out the rational core of the theoretical framework that allowed its practical application in a creative and original way. . The present work also seeks to examine the hypothesis that after the Pidjiguiti massacre (1959), Amílcar Cabral's theoretical training absorbed new elements, especially from the contributions of Mao Tse-Tung (2007). Seeking to ratify it, concepts and categories developed by Louis Althusser (1979), Samir Amin (2021) and Kwame N' Krumah (1977) will also be used as theoretical-methodological tools, who likewise integrated the philosopher's theoretical instruments into their thoughts. Chinese. The 1960s, in this sense, should be seen as a qualitative turning point in Amílcar Cabral's thinking, which allowed him to advance in the field of the liberation struggle, with the successful result of the independence of the social formations of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. Marxism in Amílcar Cabral suggests another hypothesis: that his thought develops allowing him to escape from Eurocentric interpretations, inscribing him in a model of Afro-Asian materialism. This hypothesis will be analyzed with the support of the resource of primary sources made available by the Mário Soares Foundation (Casa Comum) and other virtual portals.
