The project is a scholarly monograph grounded in meticulous archival work on Portugal’s counterinsurgency that targeted Muslim communities during Mozambique’s liberation war. It tackles the role Muslims played in colonial Mozambique paying particular attention to lived realities that they as colonial subjects faced during the colonial war, and their response to Portuguese initiatives to solicit their support as a bulwark against armed nationalism.
