Rito y reconciliación en Mozambique: la cultura como mediadora de la experiencia bélica

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Based on Mozambique’s post-independence armed conflict (1976-1992), this paper examines several issues linked with culture’s role as a mediator in the experience of war and post-war, paying particular attention to spiritual purification rituals. The author argues that these rituals played an important role in the process of the rehabilitation, reintegration and social reconciliation of combatants returning from the war, as well as for Mozambique’s societies in general. The paper also explores the potentials and limitations of these rituals.
