Rebel (1969), by Bediako Asare, is a novel about the conflict between tradition and modernity in Africa. Set on an imaginary island off the African coast, it tells the story of the remote village of Pachanga, still unknown to the rest of the island, and the inhabitants who still live a traditional lifestyle, untouched by modern innovations. According to Asare, their existence is far from idyllic.
REBEL - Revolutionære Unge Socialister (Revolutionary Young Socialists) was an independent Danish far left youth organization founded in 1992. In 2001, REBEL joined forces with the youth network of the Red-Green Alliance / Enhedslisten and established Socialist Youth Front.
