The Morality of Revolution

Reeducation Camps and the Politics of Punishment in Socialist Mozambique, 1968-1990

Beschreibung

This book foregrounds the contradictions between Frelimo’s socialist ambitions and the reality of its carceral regimen. Rather than rehabilitative institutions, the party’s camps were spaces of social abandonment where detainees suffered at the hands of overseers and endured wretched conditions in remote rural sites.
