By demonstrating that Western conceptions of 'civil society' have
provided the framework for interpreting societies in the Global
South, Decolonizing Civil Society in Mozambique argues that it is
only through a critical deconstruction of these concepts that we
can start to re-balance global power relationships, both in
academic discourse and in development practices. Examining the
exclusionary discourses framing the support for Western-type NGOs
in the development discourse - often to the exclusion of local
social actors - this book dissects mainstream contemporary ideas
about 'civil society', and finds a new means by which to identify
local forms of social action, often based in traditional structures
and spiritual discourses. Outlining new conceptual ideas for an
alternative framing of Mozambique's 'civil society', Kleibl
proposes a series of fresh theoretical issues and questions
alongside empirical research, moving towards a series of new policy
and practice arguments for rethinking and decolonizing civil
society in the Global South.
