The State and Its Enemies in Papua New Guinea (Paperback, illustrated edition)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
A study of nation-building processes in the young state of Papua
New Guinea, and of opposition against these in one of the country's
peripheral provinces, Manus. Intense resistance is offered there by
a movement called Wind Nation. Wind Nation is nothing less than the
old Paliau Movement, made famous by the two American
anthropologists Margaret Mead and Theodore Schwartz. Paliau Maloat,
Wind Nation's late founder and leader, has introduced a
quasi-biblical ideology which labels the state as "Lucifer", and
his movement fights Lucifer by means of riots, demonstrations and
court-cases. Throughout Papua New Guinea movements with similar
objectives make up a policentric process, of some bearing for the
identity of the young state and its citizens.
