Educated in Lisbon, he played a key role in the early twentieth-century emerging Black movement’s intellectual, political, and artistic life. His literary production offers an anti-colonial and anti-racist critique of modernity, intersecting various modernist debates on themes ranging from race, gender, and sexuality to imperialism, ecology, and vegetarianism. Fernando Beleza traces Domingues’s literary, intellectual, and political trajectory, contributing to a more rigorous understanding of Portuguese modernism and its relationship to the colonial project whilst shedding light on the contours of an original contribution to the modernisms of the Black Atlantic. Fernando Beleza is a Lecturer in Portuguese Studies at Newcastle University.
