Indo-Mozambicans in Maputo, 1947-1992

More about the book

The book delves into the lives of Indo-Mozambicans, whose identities are shaped by historical events linked to colonialism and migration. Through ethnographic interviews, it reveals how migration became essential for survival and identity in response to Mozambique's independence movements and geopolitical turmoil from 1947 to 1992. Key historical moments, such as the partition of India and the end of Portuguese rule, are examined as catalysts for changes in migratory patterns and ethnic identity, offering a fresh perspective on post-colonial experiences and the complexities of those impacted by migration.
