Focusing on Professor Tomás' recently published book, Amílcar Cabral: The Life of a Reluctant Fundamentalist, this talk draws parallels between Du Bois' Black Reconstruction and Cabral's writing on the agrarian structure of Portugal and its colonies. The aim is to grapple with Black Reconstruction's influence on colonial struggles and global black thought.

"Black Reconstruction as a Portal" is a year-long Sawyer Seminar at the University of California, Irvine that explores the global salience of visions of Black Reconstruction as a portal between the crisis that marks our current predicament and the freedom dreams of those who have taken to the streets insisting that another world is still possible.
