Summary:

Nine original essays and 64 duotone photographs illuminating the emergence of East Timor into nationhood. The people of East Timor are in transition, having endured the brutality of colonization and invasion to emerge into the uncertain light of autonomy. These stunning images and insightful texts present the range of the Timorese people's history, culture, and aspirations. Nine authors, including renowned investigator Noam Chomsky, David Webster and James Dynn have contributed original essays. Elaine Briere's eloquent photos form the core of this haunting, informative book.
