Former Guerrillas in Mozambique

Abstract

This book offers an ethnographic study of former guerrilla fighters in Mozambique, focusing on their lives after the end of the civil war. It examines how ex-combatants from the RENAMO movement navigate reintegration into civilian society, addressing issues such as identity, memory, and social belonging. Through detailed fieldwork, the author explores the long-term effects of political violence on individuals and communities, highlighting the challenges of reconciliation and post-war recovery. The study contributes to broader discussions on war, society, and the complexities of transitioning from conflict to peace in postcolonial African contexts.
