Biography
Manuel Rui Alves Monteiro was born in 1941 in Huambo (then Nova Lisboa), capital of Angola. He studied at the University of Coimbra, in Portugal, and received a law degree there in 1969. He practiced law in Coimbra during the nationalist struggle for independence in Angola. He was on the editorial board of Vertice, the journal of the Center of Literary Studies in Coimbra, where he published his first prose fiction works in the early 1970s.
In the aftermath of the Portuguese military coup on April 25, 1974, Rui returned to Angola to serve as the MPLA Minister of Information in the transitional government established by the Alvor Agreement. He then served as Angola's first representative to the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations. He also directed the MPLA's Department of Revolutionary Orientation and Department of Foreign Affairs. He wrote the lyrics of Angola's first national anthem, "Angola Avante!", the Angolan version of "The Internationale".
Rui's 1982 book Quem Me Dera Ser Onda has been described as "a classic of Angolan (and Lusophone African) literature".
