description This paper studies the uses of anthropology during the Portuguese occupation of Mozambique. It will analyze the excesses to which an essentialist anthropology, heir of modern racism, led to. But it will also show an use of anthropology that made it possible to question this situation and to enable new views and processes. The analysis aims to point out the bases of a method that avoids the idealistic use of knowledge and is capable of favoring minuscule but essential twists in the devices of government. Beyond the historical perspective of the work, it constitutes a methodological case study that can guide the intervention of other anthropology and social science professionals engaged (and often called upon by various organizations) to study the problems of our present.
