The independence of Mozambique in 1975 and its decolonisation
process attracted worldwide attention as a successful example of
"national unity." Yet, the armed conflict that broke out between
the government and the guerrilla force in 1977 lasted for sixteen
years and resulted in over a million deaths and several million
refugees, placing this concept of "national unity" into doubt. For
nearly twenty years, Sayaka Funada-Classen interviewed people in
rural communities in Mozambique. By examining their testimonies,
historical documents, previous studies, international and regional
politics, and the changes that various interventions under
colonialism brought to the traditional social structure, this book
demonstrates that the seeds of "division" had already been planted
while the liberation movement was seeking "unity" in the struggle
years. Presenting a comprehensive history of contemporary
Mozambique, this book is indispensable for Mozambican scholars. It
promises to serve as a landmark study not only for historians and
the scholars of African studies but also for those who give serious
consideration to the problems of conflict and peace in the world.
