Introduction -- Violence : war, state, and anthropology in Mozambique -- Territory : spatio-historical approaches to state formation -- Spirit : chiefly authority, soil, and medium -- Body : illness, memory, and the dynamics of healing -- Sovereignty : the Mozambican president and the ordering of sorcery -- Economy : substance, production, and accumulation -- Law : political authority and multiple sovereignties -- Conclusion : uncapturability, dynamics, and power. |
| Summary |
Violent Becomings sheds light on violence in the periods of colonial and postcolonial state formation by conceptualizing the state not as the bureaucratically ordered polity of the nation-state, but as a continuously evolving and violently challenged mode of social ordering. |
