82 SOCIAL SCIENTIST rupture .... The experiences of the liberated zones constitute precious patrimony for us. Something which we have to defend and use to make a rupture, at the national level, with the old myths, values and habits, with the structures of social life, organisation and production inherited from the colonial list society and which still exist in our midst. There is also another interesting fact which needs particular mention. Samora Machcl says: The fact that you have been brought up in the liberated zone—that you have never seen a colonialist—docs not make you a New Man.

In general we sec this as a collective struggle that has to take place at the level of society and nature, as well as the individual level. In regard to struggles going on across the Mozambique's borders in South Africa we have only to concur with Samora Machel again when he says: "We arc the most obdurate and uncompromising enemies of racism. But we also feel that by putting too much stress on the apartheid issue the danger is that revolutionary forces may be diverted into waging an anti-white campaign. That is why we say let us define the enemy. It is not the whites; it is not a question of skin pigmentation. It is, in our area of the world, colonialist capitalist opprcassion." That these were no idle words was demonstrated by concrete acts of support for the Zimbabwe freedom fighters—for which
