Book Review of Sayaka Funada-Classen: The Origins of War in Mozambique. A History of Unity and Division

The Mozambican civil war remains a relevant topic for continuing study. Where earlier publications about the war stressed the rôle of the racist minority regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa, more recent analyses have tended to look (also) at the way in which Frelimo implemented its political dominance over the Mozambican population after and even before independence. Funada-Classen’s book fits in with the latter trend and has added valuable data to the literature. The degree to which she has succeeded in providing wholly satisfactory interpretations of these data will have to be discussed.
