I wanted to share a bit about my book, Go Tell the Crocodiles: Chasing Prosperity in Mozambique, published by the New Press in February. The book explores the efforts of ordinary people to provide for themselves where foreign aid, the formal economy, and the government have fallen short during a period when Mozambique has been lauded for its transition to democracy and high economic growth.
