Resumo
This dissertation, entitled The role of initiation rites in the yaawo community: case of the city of
Lichinga-Mozambique has the aim: to analyze the social role of initiation rites in the yaawo
community; to characterize the practice of initiation rites in this community in present times Of
cultural flow; to differentiate male and female initiation related to practice and thematic and to
describe the role of initiation rites in the preservation of the socio-cultural values of the region. Its
execution has become possible through research developed within the community, involving
initiates as witness, teachers and managers of the schools where these initiates seek their learning.
The research with schools and its agents aimed to analyze the relationship level between the
practice of initiation rites and school institutions. The findings showed that initiation rites have the
role of reinforcing internal social cohesion among members of the community, disseminating
among their participants the spirit of solidarity and awakening the sense of belonging. They also
have the role of socialization between initiates and the community at large. They create moral
guidelines and outline the community's rules of social conduct. Initiation in the yaawo context
means the attainment of social majority. By initiation the individual passes from childhood to
adulthood, thus becoming part of the active part of the life of his community and enjoying full
rights. They also mean the highest moment of the exaltation of culture and community identity.
