Looking for information on Makua/Lomwe and Mountains in Mozambique

Hello All

My name is Majka Burhardt and I am the leader of a conservation, science, and adventure project on Mt. Namuli in Zambezia, Mozambique. We are also making a film about the work.  I'm currently trying to track down research about the Makua/Lomwe. I'd be grateful to be in contact with anyone who has information or ideas.

In addition, I am curious if there are any academics on this list serve who've specifically researched mountains and the role of mountains in Mozambique (both in the Namuli region in Zambezie and in the larger country).

Thank you,

Majka Burhardt (mb@majkaburhardt.com)


 

Research in Maputo June 2014

Dear Colleagues,

I am planning a visit to Maputo to conduct research at the Arquivo Histórico de Moçambique in June 2014 and I am hoping that list-members may have leads on reasonably priced accomodation for my husband and myself. We would be quite willing to stay in a room in an apartment, for example.

I am also keen to make connections with other scholars in Maputo while I am visiting. My own research will be focused on colonial medicine and the relationships between health, migration and the control of borders in colonial Mozambique in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Please contact me off-list (rosajanetwilliams@gmail.com).
