Cabral's recognition is posthumous and political rather than ceremonial. Cape Verde marks his birthday, 12 September, as its National Day. Guinea-Bissau's international airport on Sal, Cape Verde, bears his name. A substantial biographical literature exists, including a Hurst Publishers biography and the Ohio Short Histories volume Amílcar Cabral: A Nationalist and Pan-Africanist Revolutionary. His writings are studied in universities worldwide.
