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?
