Rhetoric and the Decolonization and Recolonization of East Timor

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the critical years of 1974-1975 in East Timor, this book challenges the notion of a unifying nationalist spirit among the Timorese. It posits that the majority lacked a true grasp of foreign political ideologies like colonialism and communism. Instead, the narrative is shaped by the contrasting political cultures of Dili and the broader regions of the country, offering a fresh interpretation of this tumultuous period in East Timor's history.
