| description | The paper analyses the politics of assimilation that characterized the social and political thinking of the ruling elite of the State in Mozambique, from the modern colonialism to the socialist revolution of the 1970s and 1990s. Inspired on the sociology of modernization and assimilation, it analyzes texts of some members of the intellectualized high ruling elite of the State, namely Armindo Monteiro, Adriano Moreira, Joaquim da Silva Cunha, EduardoMondlane, Aquino de Bragança and Sérgio Vieira. It suggests that the politics of assimilation is presenton the thinking of these elite. The most significant aspect of such a policy consisted on proposing a project of society aiming at integrate all individuals, based on the modern idea of homogenization of racial, ethnic, tribal and linguistic particularities. Such a pretension has revealed its ambivalence by excluding those social sectors that proposed to integrate. |

Inspired on the sociology of modernization and assimilation, it analyzes texts of some members of the intellectualized high ruling elite of the State, namely Armindo Monteiro, Adriano Moreira, Joaquim da Silva Cunha, EduardoMondlane, Aquino de Bragança and Sérgio Vieira. It suggests that the politics of assimilation is presenton the thinking of these elite. The most significant aspect of such a policy consisted on proposing a project of society aiming at integrate all individuals, based on the modern idea of homogenization of racial, ethnic, tribal and linguistic particularities. Such a pretension has revealed its ambivalence by excluding those social sectors that proposed to integrate. L’article analyse la politique d’assimilation présente dans la pensée sociale et politique de l’élite dirigeante intellectuel de l’État, de la colonie (1930-1974) à la révolution socialiste des années 1977-90 au Mozambique. Théoriquement, il est basé en la sociologie de la modernisation et de l’assimilation.La discussion suggère que la politiqued’assimilation est fortement présente dans la pensée d’Armindo Monteiro, Adriano Moreira, Joaquim da Silva Cunha,Eduardo Mondlane, Aquino deBragança et Sérgio Vieira. Ces proposeraient un projet de société mozambicaine qui visait à intégrer tous les individus à partir de l’assomption moderne d’homogénéisation des particularismes ethniques, tribaux, linguistiques et raciaux. Tel proposition venait à exclue socialement les segments objet de cette intégration face à son origine noire africaine et traditionnelle, qui a fini par montrer sa face perverse. O artigo analisa a política da assimilação presente no pensamento social e político da elite dirigente intelectualizada, desde o período do Estado do Moçambique-Colônia (1930-1974) à revolução socialista dos anos 1977-90. Em termos teóricos, ele se sustenta na sociologia da modernização e da assimilação desenvolvendo uma discussão que sugere como a política da assimilação está sobremaneira presente no pensamento, tanto de Armindo Monteiro, Adriano Moreira e Joaquim da Silva Cunha; quanto no de Eduardo Mondlane, Aquino de Bragança e Sérgio Vieira, representantes nos períodos citados. Estes propunham um projeto de sociedade moçambicana que visava integrar todos os indivíduos, partindo de uma assunção moderna de homogeneização de particularismos étnicos, tribais, linguísticos e raciais. Tal proposição, contudo, acabava excluindo socialmente os segmentos objeto dessa integração em face de sua origem negro-africana e tradicional, o que acabava mostrando sua face perversa. 2021-12-21 2022-03-17T14:38:53Z 2022-03-17T14:38:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion "Avaliado pelos pares" Abordagem qualitativa do pensamento social https://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/crh/article/view/30656 10.9771/ccrh.v34i0.30656 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/39876 por https://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/crh/article/view/30656/25736 Copyright (c) 2021 Caderno CRH http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidade Federal da Bahia Caderno CRH; v. 34 (2021): PUBLICAÇÃO CONTÍNUA; e021040 1983-8239 0103-4979 |
