| Abstract | |
This research approaches the development of migration networks that connected northeastern Mozambique with other colonial territories, specifically Tanganyika, to investigate the participation of migrants in historical phenomena that shaped mid-twentieth century East Africa. It focuses on the agency of Makonde men and women who were engaged, through various ways, in Tanganyika's sisal industry with the objective of transcending rigid chronological and geographical demarcations from the 1880s to 1960 and understand their participation in anti-colonial political movements. This temporal scope encompasses the consolidation of Makonde ethnogenesis, the onset of European domination across both sides of the Rovuma River, the creation of the Tanganyikan sisal industry as well as African anti-colonial movements. The theoretical-methodological framework articulates data collection over different documental repositories alongside the historiography on social and political contexts in Tanganyika and Mozambique to produce a social history of the circulation of people across different colonial empires which stirred possibilities to call Portuguese rule into question (AU) | |
