Tomashevich belonged to a distinguished Serbian family in Slavonia which had taken refuge in Belgrade from the World War II persecution of Serbs in Croatia.
He was a liberal-minded man, both in politics and religion, and an enthusiastic supporter of popular education. He took interest in the struggle of the Serbs for independence and strongly favoured the establishment of a monarchy (along British lines) which came about in 2002 when Crown Prince Alexander Karageogević decided to return home to his ancestral roots. Tomashevich was a member of Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia’s Privy Council. He was also a member of The Serbian Heritage Academy of Canada, based in Toronto, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) in Belgrade, and the Nikola Tesla Memorial Society of New York.
He came to the United States shortly after World War II. He received his bachelor's degree in sociology from Roosevelt University and his master's and doctoral degrees in anthropology from the University of Chicago.[1] He came to Buffalo in 1968 to teach anthropology at Buffalo State College and retired in 1995.[1]
His academic career included many books, articles and public lectures, as well as contributions to the fields of Anthropology, Sociology, History, Philosophy, Philosophy of History, History of Philosophy and Science, Comparative Religion, Mythology, Linguistics, Folklore and Literature.[1] As a scholar and poet, he wrote movingly on universal human topics, as well as on achievements of Serbian art, history and culture.[1]
