Mozambique Magaia is both a participant in and chronicler of the effects on peasants of struggle in Mozambique. These stories are simply and sparely told yet horrific. Chapter titles include "They Slaughtered Bertana's Husband as if He Were a Goat" and "Pieces of Human Flesh Fell in Belinda's Yard." Magaia describes the brutality of South African-backed guerrilla terrorism, supported apparently to destabilize the region and to drive out successful socialist government. Read with Beah's A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier for the perspective of a forced combatant in Africa's ongoing internal conflicts. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Lina Magaia left the capital of Maputo to travel to the south of Mozambique, in order to return to her family, and to chronicle the suffering of her people. Reports of atrocities did reach the Western press, particularly The New York Times, but in keeping with today's far right in the United States, extreme conservatives led by Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, Patrick Buchanan and the Heritage Foundation dismissed these reports as fake news in the late 1980s, and the Republican led government did not act on those reports.
The term "dumba nengue" refers to a proverb that states that "you have to trust your feet," and those civilians who did so survived, although they returned to devastated homes and decimated crops and livestock, and the area has remained in deep poverty since then.
Dumba Nengue consists of 22 actual accounts of these atrocities, which are difficult to read due to their extreme brutality and Magaia's vivid descriptions, and I could only bear to read a half dozen of them. ( )
