Preface -- List of illustrations -- List of acronyms and abbreviations -- Introduction -- Chapter 1. Emergence of "Mozambique" and social changes under colonial rule -- Chapter 2. Characteristics of Maúa and the process of colonisation -- Chapter 3. Mozambique before the liberation struggle -- Chapter 4. World politics from 1960 to 1975 and Mozambique's liberation struggle -- Chapter 5. Maúa circumscription during the liberation struggle -- Conclusion: From the liberation struggle to post-independence armed conflict -- Bibliography.

The book focuses on an area called Maúa, not because I believe Maúa represents the whole of Mozambique as such, but because highlighting a specific area and people helps to understand the Mozambican history more deeply and comprehensively. In any case, it would be impossible to study the experience of all Mozambicans. I am not attempting to write a history textbook of Mozambique, or a glorious history of the liberation struggle, but rather trying to fill a gap in the descriptions of contemporary Mozambican history by delving into matters that have not been written about before.
