Includes bibliographical references ( leaves 222-229) ; This work traces a changing paradigm of mission within the protestant churches of Mozambique and particularly in the Igreja Presbiteriana de Moçambique (IPM), as it moved toward autonomy within the context of the Portuguese colonial project. In this shifting paradigm, the church was forced to define its role in the broader struggle for liberation, particularly after the formation of the Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (FRELIMO) in 1962. Although this is an historical critical study, the focus is theological and more particularly missiological and employs the paradigms of mission identified by David Bosch. The study draws significantly on the work of Teresa Cruz e Silva, Eric Morier-Genoud and Alf Helgesson as well as Malyn Newitt and the recent biography of Janet Mondlane. Primary material has been drawn largely from the archives of the Departement Missionaire de la Suisse Rornande, the World Council of Churches and the Instituto dos Arquivos Nacionaisfforre do Tombo of the Ministerio da Cultura de Portugal. The main body of the work examines the life and thought of Eduardo Mondlane, the first President of FRELIMO. Mondlane was raised in a traditional African family before becoming integrated into the MS through the missionary Andre-Daniel Clerc. He pursued studies in South Africa, Portugal and the United States with the support of church scholarships and his connection with the church continued until his death. His theological thought, particularly his understanding of the role of the church in the context of colonialism, challenged and impacted the protestant communities in Mozambique, the Reformed church in Switzerland and the emerging modem global ecumenical movement. It is argued that Mondlane's motivation for involvement in the liberation struggle cannot be thoroughly understood without a serious examination of his life of faith and his changing theological understanding of the mission of the church. The final chapter of this work examines the impact of this changed paradigm on the relationships among the local protestant churches, the former mission sending church, the new FRELIMO government and the World Council of Churches in the years following Mondlane's death Particular attention is paid to the impact of the death in prison of Zedequias Manganhela .

"This book has been written for use as a text in college courses in social psychology. Basically, the field is conceived to be the study of those aspects of human personal behavior which are developed and controlled by the interaction which takes place between the individual and his small intimate circle of associations known as the primary group. Recent years have witnessed a significant expansion of the content of social psychology. Because of the diverse views of experimenters and the contribution of different fields of study, the increase in knowledge has sometimes proved to be an embarrassment of riches. A major purpose of this book is to show the essential unity of the knowledge that has been acquired and to emphasize the areas of fundamental agreement in the field rather than one particular school of thought. Moreover, materials from the subject fields of either sociology or psychology which do not bear directly on this conception of the subject have been excluded in the interest of a clear and integral organization. Although designed primarily as an introduction to social psychology, this discussion also includes a review of the latest scholarship in the field and an analysis of the methods by which new knowledge has been acquired. The constant emphasis on the experimental background should lead the student to an understanding of the present research frontiers of social psychology. It has been intended, finally, that the discussion of human behavior presented here will provide a direct and meaningful application by the reader to situations encountered in everyday living. It is recommended as a valuable exercise, in fact, that the student analyze his own life history or the experiences of the subject of a good fictional or biographical work in the light of the principles brought out in this volume"--Preface.

From misleading news articles around elections in Brazil and the United States to mob lynchings fueled by false social media messages in India to made-up stories about COVID-19 vaccination, a deluge of disinformation and misinformation is affecting various aspects of citizens' lives around the world. Although there is an increasing number of research papers dealing with disinformation or misinformation, a majority of these have focused on the United States. This Special Section on comparative approaches to mis/disinformation features conceptual and data-informed articles with international and global perspectives on the prevalence, impact, and diffusion of mis/disinformation in different countries. Articles selected for the Special Section provide new theoretical and empirical contributions to existing bodies of knowledge whether focusing on one country or offering comparative perspectives involving multiple countries. The articles, individually and collectively, offer important scholarly and policy implications for studying and combating mis/disinformation around the world.
