Drawing on twenty years of research, this book examines the
historical perspective of a Pacific people who saw
“globalization” come and go. Suau people encountered the
leading edge of missionization and colonialism in Papua New Guinea
and were active participants in the Second World War. In Memory of
Times to Come offers a nuanced account of how people assess their
own experience of change over the course of a critical century. It
asks two key questions: What does it mean to claim that global
connections are in the past rather than the present or the future,
and what does it mean to claim that one has lost one’s culture,
but not because anyone else took it away or destroyed it?
