Mozambique as a place of interrogation: the modernity in Elísio Macamo and Severino Ngoenha is an attempt to seek answers to questions that arise when we think within the scope of modern science from the global periphery. This book provides a tour through the works of Elísio Macamo and Severino Ngoenha, authors of great importance in the Mozambican social thought. The insight and fecundity with which the author has addressed the complex relationship that the African continent has with modernity is a gateway to reflect upon our place in a wider network of knowledge production. At the edges of these reflections, the book sheds light on what drives these authors to produce knowledge on how they conceive what is intellectual, the role played by intellectuals in society and what kind of knowledge they should produce.
