Through an examination of the individual life trajectories of youth who participated in an educational exchange project between Mozambique and East Germany, this book offers an alternative reading of Mozambique’s socialist past and makes a significant contribution to studies of post-socialist transitions. In addition, while focusing on the concrete example of development cooperation between Mozambique and the former East Germany in the field of education, it analyses the dynamics of socialist cosmopolitanism and resulting patterns of identity and belonging.
