| | José Negrão, who died 9 July 2005 at the age of 49 of a cerebral haemorrhage, was a Mozambican academic who always linked his research to political action. He finished secondary school in 1975, the year of Mozambican independence, and was swept up into the revolutionary activity of the era. As an undergraduate at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, he was part of TBARN, a project to try to introduce appropriate technologies in rural areas. His PhD tackled one of the key areas for Mozambican development - the rural family economy. This led directly to the subject that he would make his own - access to land. |
