Abstract:
Being a first of its kind, this volume comprises a multi-disciplinary exploration of Mozambique`s contemporary and historical dynamics, bringing together scholars from across the globe. Focusing on the country`s vibrant cultural, political, economic and social world - including the transition from the colonial to the postcolonial era - the book argues that Mozambique is a country still emergent, still unfolding, still on the move. Drawing on the disciplines of history, literature studies, anthropology, political science, economy and art history, the book serves not only as a generous introduction to Mozambique but also as a case study of a southern African country.
