Abstract
The article analyzes the centrality of colonial heritage in the insertion process of the white European rooted minority in Mozambican society today. The favourable attitudes of the black majority in relation to the white minority tend to be paramount in common sense thinking than the unfavourable ones, with the white minority being represented, in terms of race relations, as markedly different from what it was in the colonial period. Another phenomenon that it analyses is the anti-portugueseness, a symptom of the vulnerability of the white minority in that mostly black post-colonial society.
