Abstrakt:	The article is a book review of "Amilcar Cabral: The Life of a Reluctant Nationalist" by Antonio Tomas. The reviewer discusses the perception of Cabral as a romanticized figure in African history and challenges this view by examining Cabral's writings and his emphasis on culture in the liberation war against colonialism. The book aims to dispel the glorification of African liberation leaders and presents a realistic portrayal of Cabral and the cultural tensions between the people of Cape Verde and Guinea. The reviewer suggests that the book encourages critical engagement with the scholarship on African history and culture. [Extracted from the article]
