A travel book covering a little-understood part of southern Africa, where western culture meets a world of ancient beliefs. Mozambique is revealed as a resilient, good-natured country experiencing the contradictions of the modern aid business, coping with the legacy of 500 years of Portuguese rule.

Middleton made two trips to Mozambique in 1992, one before and one after the peace accord was signed to end a savage civil war. Despite its recent history, he found a resilient country full of integrity and good nature, and saw the contradictions of the modern aid business, which is taking over the legacy of 500 years of Portuguese rule in a country which, until independence, was known only for for its prawns and prostitutes. This travel book illuminates a little-understood part of southern Africa, a country where the culture of the West meets a world of older beliefs, still full of magic and ghosts.
