António Tomás talks with Bárbara Reis
The Art of Biography
Journalist and anthropologist António Tomás is the author of a biography about Amílcar Cabral published 25 years ago, whose updated edition will be released later this year. The character of the most outstanding anti-colonialist thinker is the starting point for this conversation with journalist Bárbara Reis.
With a Ph.D in Anthropology from Columbia University in New York City, António Tomás worked as a journalist in Angola and Portugal and is the author of O Fazedor de Utopias, a biography of the African nationalist Amílcar Cabral and of a book on the process of urbanization of Luanda, among other titles.
Having taught in Uganda and South Africa, António Tomás is currently an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California Irvine. He is one of the speakers invited to discuss ‘the art of biography’ in an international conference dedicated to this form of literature.
