Fidel Castro sent Cuban military troops to Angola in support of the Movimento Popular de Liberta  o de Angola (MPLA), leading to its ascension to power despite facing threats both international and domestic. What is less known, and what \u003ci\u003eCubans in Angola\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light, is the significant role Cubans played in the transformation of civil society in Angola during these years. Offering not just military support but also political, medical, administrative, and technical expertise as well as educational assistance, the Cuban presence in Angola is a unique example of transatlantic cooperation between two formerly colonized nations in the global South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristine Hatzky is a professor at the Leibniz Universität Hannover.
