The Morality of Revolution
original intervention into debates on postcolonial statecraft, revealing how moral ideology shaped the architecture of repression and reform in socialist Mozambique between 1968 and 1990. Machava challenges prevailing assumptions by asserting that reeducation camps were not marginal institutions or imitations of external models.

From Displacement to Marginalization
In the 1970s, the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) opened its bases in the mid-Zambezi Valley, at Paradise and Mayovhe, under Chief Mola's territory.

On Renamo ‘War’, Entrepreneurial Synergies and Everyday Life in the Honde Valley Borderlands, c .1980s–2020
This article examines how Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo) operatives have become part of everyday life in Zimbabwe’s Honde Valley communities since the 1980s.

We seek to understand how regular or ‘everyday’ practices such as beer brewing, hunting, and other social solidarities highlight the ways …
