Indo-Mozambicans in Maputo, 1947-1992

More about the book

Focusing on the unique experiences of Indo-Mozambicans, the book delves into their migration as both an identity marker and a survival strategy amidst significant historical upheavals. Through ethnographic interviews, it highlights how four key historical events—from the end of British colonialism in India to Mozambique's independence and subsequent civil war—shaped their migratory patterns and ethnic identities. This exploration offers valuable insights into post-colonialism and emphasizes the often-overlooked narratives of those affected by these transformative periods.
