A 2002 study of Mozambique's economic transformation and the social and political forces behind it.
M. ANNE PITCHER is Associate Professor of Political Science at Colgate University, Hamilton, New York.
'This is an important book which all those interested in modern Mozambique will want to read ... a fascinating book which tells a largely new story ...' Journal of African History 'Transforming Mozambique is an important book because it is one of the first to give evidence of what privatisation means in the contemporary African context. Not only does it provide important insights into the most significant economic changes that have taken place in that country in the last twenty years, but it also offers a sensible perspective on a debate that has become overly ideological.' Journal of Southern African Studies
