East Timor: Nationalism & colonialism
ast Timor: Nationalism & Colonialism offers a compelling examination of the historical forces that shaped East Timor’s struggle for self-determination. Jill Jolliffe traces the roots of Timorese nationalism from the colonial period under Portugal through the geopolitical pressures that culminated in Indonesia’s invasion and subsequent occupation. Drawing on firsthand reporting, archival research, and interviews with resistance figures, Jolliffe analyzes how colonial legacies, regional power dynamics, and Cold War politics influenced the fate of the Timorese people. The book highlights the resilience of the independence movement and the human rights abuses that occurred during the conflict. Insightful and meticulously documented, this work provides an essential perspective on East Timor’s path toward independence and the broader challenges of nationalism in post-colonial contexts.
