| Description | In 1975, the Mozambican government launched a crackdown on practices it associated with colonial society. While liberating in most aspects, it included a ban on the Carnivalesque, which was often a way for cross-dressers and transgender people to freely express themselves with pride. The carnival would experience a revival in 1988 but has not achieved the popularity it once had. |
