  • Re-education Camps and the Messianic Ethos of Mozambique’s Socialism

    Open Access•Benedito Machava•CHAPTER•Socialismes en Afrique•2021

    Immediately after taking over power from Portugal on 20 September 1974, the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) set the pace towards what was to be a difficult road towards building socialism in Mozambique. During the transitional government, and while preparing the conditions for the declaration of national independence (scheduled for 25 June 1975), Frelimo established several internment camps, which were officially known as re-education cente…

  • The dead archive: Governance and institutional memory in independent Mozambique

    Open Access•Benedito Machava, Euclides Gonçalves•ARTICLE•Africa•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 15

    Translated from the Portuguese expressionarquivo morto, the dead archive is a site where files that have lost their procedural validity are stored for a determined number of years before they are destroyed or are sent to permanent archives. In Mozambique, where awareness and institutional capacity for proper archival procedures are still being developed, a common feature of the dead archive is the way in which files are untidily piled up with old…

  • Reeducation Camps, Austerity, and the Carceral Regime in Socialist Mozambique (1974–79)

    Open Access•Benedito Machava•ARTICLE•The Journal of African History•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 16

    Throughout the socialist experiment between 1974 and 1992, the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) ran a network of internment camps officially known as reeducation centers. Established in remote rural sites to mentally decolonize wayward members of urban society and putative enemies of the socialist revolution, the camps became a dumping ground for unwanted citizens accused of all kinds of wrongdoing. Although the Frelimo leaders envisioned a …

  • State Discourse on Internal Security and the Politics of Punishment in Post-Independence Mozambique (1975-1983)

    Benedito Machava, Benedito Luís Machava•ARTICLE•Journal of Southern African Studies•2011•Cited by: 24

    This article explores state discourse on domestic security threats and the way the Mozambican party-state sought to counter them in the decade after independence. It analyses the ways in which government forces dealt with ideological enemies, crime and social disorder. It is argued that Frelimo's quest for hegemony and its obsessive aim of building a state-nation under the project of ‘socialist revolution’ led to harsh intolerance of all that was…
