Description
Summary:The focus of this article is on cross-cultural encounters, involving African, European and Asian identities, that occurred in colonial Mozambique in the 19th and 20th. It suggests that the colonial ideology of «cultural separatism» and the manipulative mana­gement of socio-cultural differences between African, Chinese, Indian and Portuguese populations did not succeed in supplanting the spontaneous processes of hybridization and transculturation of these communities. It generated continuously new identities and, with them, also new tensions and social recompositions.
