Description: This monograph will hopefully represent a contribution to the current debates on the formation of the state in Mozambique since the nineteenth century. It consists of three parts. In Part I we describe the theoretical, analytical and methodological framework used to analyze the socio-political and legal structure of the multicultural Mozambican society. Part 2 is an intermezzo, aimed at describing the socio-economicevolution of Mozambique over the last fifty years. In Part 3 we describe and analyze the information that was gathered on official justice and community justice. The chapters included in Part 3 present the main findings of the research into official justice (the Supreme Court, the provincial and district courts and the General Attorney’s Office), access to the law and justice, and the informal, semi-official or non-official forms of justice that exist alongside the official judicial system in Mozambique and which the majority of citizens use to resolve disputes.
