Violent Becomings conceptualizes the Mozambican state not as the
bureaucratically ordered polity of the nation-state, but as a
continuously emergent and violently challenged mode of ordering. In
doing so, this book addresses the question of why colonial and
postcolonial state formation has involved violent articulations
with so-called 'traditional' forms of sociality. The scope and
dynamic nature of such violent becomings is explored through an
array of contexts that include colonial regimes of forced labor and
pacification, liberation war struggles and civil war, the social
engineering of the post-independence state, and the popular
appropriation of sovereign violence in riots and lynchings.
