In May 1983, Frelimo, the party-state which has been running the country since independence in 1975, implemented a nationwide policy aiming at transforming \u201curban unproductive people\u201d into \u201crural productive people\u201d, largely through agriculture, called operation production. This book, titled \u201cPoder do poder: opera\u00e7\u00e3o produ\u00e7\u00e3o e a inven\u00e7\u00e3o dos \u201cimproductivos\u201d urbanos no Mo\u00e7ambique socialista, 1983-1988″, seeks to analyse the decisionmaking process of this policy through a thorough analysis of its discursive exercise.<\/p>\n

The “Operation production” discourse presented and represented \u201curban unproductive people\u201d as the cause of the rising urban disorder, such as crime and prostitution in the 1980s in the main Mozambican cities. The discourse also revealed the Frelimo\u2019s long-term vision of a revolutionary socialist development project, to which every Mozambican should contribute. In the eyes of Frelimo\u2019s revolutionary project, operation production was presented as a development programme which resulted not just from Frelimo\u2019s willing, but, also from the wishes of the people for a modernised and organised country where every man would be \u201cuseful for his own and for the whole Mozambican socialist society.<\/p>\n
