ANDRADE, Inácio de Carvalho Dias de. “There is a spirit that lives inside this skin”: democracy, development and witchcraft in Tete, Mozambique. []. , 24, 1, pp.69-89. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.8256.

In recent years, the expansion of the mining economy in Tete, Mozambique, fueled local expectations of development and social welfare. However, just like democratic promises of progress and peace, these hopes are being frustrated on a daily basis. Based on a historical analysis of inter-ethnic relations in the Zambezi Valley, the article attempts to account for the local perceptions about politics, morality and power that are combined with a local racialist and spiritualist discourse.
