Synopsis "Folly, Violence, and Ambition: Essays on the History and Politics of Timor-Leste"

Combining rigorous research with engaging writing, the essays in this volume offer deep historical context to contemporary issues in Timor-Leste. Whether exploring violent legacies of colonial occupation, local narratives of resistance, or the complexities of independence, this volume is an indispensable text for anyone serious about understanding the history and politics of Timor-Leste. -Michael Leach, Department of Political Science, Swinburne University of Technology Douglas Kammen is one of the most innovative thinkers working on Timor-Leste today. This collection brings together an unusually wide range of essays-from the colonial era to the Indonesian occupation and the post-2002 independence period. Kammen's creative combination of archival work and political analysis challenge us to reconsider established readings of history and politics. -Judith Bovensiepen, Director of the Institute for Social Anthropology, Vienna While a national history might provide the broad strokes, this collection of essays about Timor-Leste offers something far more agile and engaging. Beginning from little-known and often surprising starting points, Kammen combines rich archival material with diachronic analysis, making history feel alive and shedding new light on contemporary Timor-Leste. -Laura Meitzner Yoder, Environmental Studies, Wheaton College
