Les � gauchistes orphelins �. Presse et pouvoir dans le Mozambique post-colonial (1975-1990)
Comment �mergea l’alliance id�ologique entre les journalistes � gauchistes � et les nouvelles autorit�s du pays ? Une alliance qui se traduisit par l’engagement de la presse dans le projet socialiste et sa cons�quente adh�sion au journalisme r�volutionnaire. La complicit� entre les deux parties fut souvent bris�e par la m�fiance du pouvoir envers ces journalistes � gauchistes �, jeunes intellectuels blancs, accus�s de prendre une voie diff�rente de la conception op�ratoire et militaire de l’information du Frelimo, le mouvement de lib�ration du Mozambique. En effet, dans un contexte de combat, le Frelimo avait une vision mobilisatrice et activiste de l’information.
Le contexte de la guerre civile au Mozambique et le conflit r�gional en Afrique australe, dont la presse �tait l’une des branches, ont pr�cipit� la rupture des alliances id�ologiques entre le pouvoir et les journalistes � gauchistes �. Des journalistes, majoritairement des Noirs, non pr�c�demment engag�s dans la phase du � socialisme � ont acc�d� au � pouvoir � et les � gauchistes � ont alors connu une travers�e du d�sert. C’est dans le d�senchantement des journalistes � gauchistes � que se trouve la source de la lib�ration de la parole au Mozambique.

Os � esquerdistas �rf�os �. Imprensa e poder em Mo�ambique p�s-colonial (1975-1990)
Como surgur a alian�a ideol�gica entre os jornalistas � esquerdistas � e as novas autoridades do pa�s, uma alian�a que se traduziu pelo envolvimento da imprensa no projecto socialista e sua consequente ades�o ao jornalismo revolucion�rio ? A cumplicidade entre as duas partes foi v�rias vezes quebrada pela desconfian�a do poder em rela��o a esses jornalistas � esquerdistas �, jovens intelectuais brancos, acusados de enveredar por uma via diferente da concep��o operat�ria e militar da informa��o da Frelimo, o movimento de liberta��o de Mo�ambique. De facto, num contexto de combate, a Frelimo tinha uma vis�o mobilizadora e activista da informa��o.
O ambiente de guerra civil em Mo�ambique e o conflito regional na �frica Austral, do qual a imprensa era um dos ramos, precipitarm a ruptura das alian�as ideol�gicas entre o poder e os jornalistas � esquerdistas �. Jornalista, maioritariamente negros, n�o anteriormente participantes na fase do � socialismo � acedem ao � poder � e os � esquerdistas � conhecem ent�o uma travessia do deserto. � no desencantamento dos jornalistas � esquerdistas � que se encontra a fonte da liberta��o da palavra em Mo�ambique.

� Orphaned Leftists �. Press and Power in Post-Colonial Mozambique (1975-1990)
The article retraces the formation of the ideological alliance between � leftist � journalists and the country’s new authorities, an alliance resulting in the involvement of the press in the socialist project and its adoption of revolutionary journalism. The complicity between the two parties was often broken by the mistrust felt by those in power for these � leftist � journalists, young white intellectuals accused of taking a different road from the operative, military conception of information of FRELIMO, the Mozambique liberation movement. In a combat situation, FRELIMO had an activist view of news as playing a role in mobilisation.
The context of the civil war in Mozambique and regional conflict in Southern Africa, in which the press was one of the branches, brought about the collapse of the ideological alliances between the authorities and � leftist � journalists. Other journalists, mostly Blacks who had not been involved hitherto in the phase of � socialism �, came to � power � and the � leftists � found themselves left out in the cold. It was from the disenchantment of these � leftist � journalists that sprang the development of free speech in Mozambique.
