Abstract

In this article I discuss the solidarity activities in Portugal and the Netherlands in the course of the process of decolonization and independence of Lusophone Africa. Firstly, I present the socio-political transformations in the Netherlands during the 1960s and the radical change in Portugal, from Salazar's dictatorship to democracy. Then I narrow the focus on the endeavors and performance of the Dutch Angola Komité in Amsterdam and its support to the Center of Intervention for Development Amílcar Cabral (cidac) in Lisbon. The research is based on primary sources (oral history) and archival research at the International Institute of Social History (iish) in Amsterdam, the Centro de Documentação 25 de Abril, Universidade de Coimbra, and the cidac, Lisbon.
