Pedro Monteiro Cardoso
- Poesia
Pedro Monteiro Cardoso, Cape Verdean writer born in 1890, on the island of Fogo, and died in 1942, in the city of Praia. A primary school teacher, he stood out in journalism by defending the social, political and economic interests of Cape Verde. He published Folclore Cabo-Verdiano (1933), Pelos Direitos do Crioulo (1933) and Profissão de Fé (1934), a series of sonnets and roundtables. He directed the Manduco newspaper and collaborated in the Voz de Cabo Verde where he published about 33 chronicles of civic and political intervention published in 37 issues of the newspaper.
Pedro Cardoso, in fact, "Afro", from the islands of S. Nicolau, Boa Vista and S. Vicente, raged and fed controversy on the most diverse issues, from afforestation, drought and hunger, illiteracy and public education, including issues of Nativism, the Black Race and the autonomy of the province, always in defense of the interests of the children of the islands. Remember that, in the field of politics and journalism, Pedro Cardoso assumed himself as a socialist, better said, communist, having been an ardent defender of the black continent and the dignification of African man, using in his writings the pseudonym "Afro".
