"Seit 1977 werden Schülerinnen, Schüler und Studierende von Mosambik zur schulischen, universitären und technischen Ausbildung nach Kuba geschickt. Dieser Beitrag analysiert diese kollektive Erfahrung als aktualisierte Form eines Übergangsritus, der die beteiligten Initianten auf das Leben in der modernen mosambikanischen Gesellschaft vorbereitet. Nach einer kurzen Darstellung kubanisch-afrikanischer Beziehungen und der Erfahrungen mosambikanischer Schüler und Studenten in Kuba werden die klassischen Ansätze in diesem Feld - van Genneps 'Übergangsriten' und Turners Ausführungen zu Communitas und Liminalität - hinsichtlich ihrer Fruchtbarkeit für die Interpretation solcher rezenten Prozesse befragt und besonders van Genneps statisches Gesellschaftsmodell kritisiert."

"Since 1977 Mozambican students are being sent to Cuba for secondary, higher or technical education. This article analyses this collective experience as a modernized version of rites of passage, aiming at preparing the respective initiates for life in modern Mozambican society. After presenting a short overview of Cuban-African relations since 1959 and the experiences of Mozambican students in Cuba, the usefulness of the 'classical' approaches in this field, Gennep's concept of 'rites de passage' and Turner's ideas of 'communitas' and 'liminality', are being discussed. Arguing in favor of the usefulness of these concepts the article nevertheless criticizes underlying static concepts of society that ignore the dynamic aspects of society."
