Raised and educated in Mozambique, he received his PhD at Michigan University in 2018. His research focuses on liberation struggles, decolonization, nation building, socialism and socialist experiments in Africa. His current book manuscript, The Morality of Revolution: Reeducation Camps and the Carceral Regime in Socialist Mozambique, 1974-1990, examines the politics of public morality, carcerality\/punishment and citizenship in post-independence Mozambique. His research has been supported by fellowships from the Social Science Research Council, the Guggenheim Foundation, among others. Before coming to Yale, Machava was a Cotsen-Link Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society of Fellows at Princeton University (2018-2020) and a History Lecturer at University Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo, Mozambique.\r\n \r\nSelected Publications:\r\n\u201cReeducation Camps, Austerity, and the Carceral Regime in Socialist Mozambique (1974-79), Journal of African History, 60, 3 (2019): 429-455\r\n\u201cThe Dead Archive: Notes on Institutional Memories and the State in Mozambique\u201d (with Euclides Gon\u00e7alves), Africa (under review)\r\n\u201cReeducation Camps and the Messianic Ethos of Mozambique\u2019s Socialism, 1974-1988\u201d, in Fran\u00e7oise Blum, ed.

Plants constitute an estimated 80% of the biomass on Earth and are concentrated in terrestrial environments. Millions of animal species rely on plants to survive and the organismic design of plants and animals have been tightly interwoven in intricate ways over evolutionary time. Humans are no exception. Plants have been a foundational component of human diets across evolutionary time, yet many plants can be toxic or even fatal if ingested.
