Resumen

Gran parte de la literatura existente sobre la externalización de las fronteras externas de la Unión Europea presupone la UE como actor exclusivo. Aquella posición invisibiliza las formas en que países receptores han externalizado sus fronteras por su propia cuenta, sobretodo en  el momento crucial de la descolonización. Después de recorrer la literatura actual sobre la externalización de las fronteras de la UE, analizamos cómo los movimientos independentistas caboverdeanos de los años 1960s y 1970s intentaron articular una orientación no-nacional hacía la soberanía por medio de luchas internacionales intensas a lo largo del imperio portugues y el mundo socialista. El artículo sugiere que el legado anti-colonial y globalmente diaspórico de Cabo Verde sigue generando un aura poscolonial que planea pesadamente sobre los esfuerzos administrativos actuales de la UE en gobernar su frontera externa en y alrededor de las islas. Se propone que el género más apropiado para captar el futuro fronterizo de las islas caboverdeanas es el de la ciencia-ficción utópica.
