Using interviews as primary sources this book shines a light on the
infamous Portuguese massacre of Wiriyamu in colonial Mozambique in
1972. Twenty-four carefully curated testimonies are presented,
covering Portugal's last colonial war in Mozambique, and the
nationalist response that led to the massacre. Survivors share with
you their escape from Wiriyamu, while data collectors, priests and
journalists tell of their struggle to collect evidence and defend
the truth about the killings in the international press. The
Wiriyamu Massacre contextualizes the unique importance of the oral
evidence it contains and reveals the in-depth interview methods
used to gather the oral testimonies, and subsequently curate the
transcript into readable texts. This is the horrific story of
Wiriyamu, and what it can tell you about European colonialism,
genocide and the darkness in humanity, spoken by the people who
were there and who tried to tell the world.
