Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book presents a rich ethnography of postconflict social and economic recovery in East Timor following the end of Indonesian military occupation of the territory in 1999. It offers a longerterm analysis of the pathways to rebuilding and restoring local community life, and the budding prosperity that has flowed from participation in spontaneous circular labour migration and the remittance benefits that have followed.Based on extensive comparative literature and fieldbased empirical research, the book explores the protracted process of cultural and economic revival following a generationlong period of military repression and a sustained struggle for national independence. With a focus on the experiences of Fataluku ethnolinguistic communities in TimorLeste, the study offers nuanced perspectives on the legacies of conflict and local forms of governance, the revitalisation of customary exchange and ancestral religion. Presenting both an optimistic and alternative narrative in which a traumatised population finds new hope and emergent prosperity, this book highlights a renewed concern with intergenerational wellbeing and widespread aspirations for prosperity and material benefits following decades of deprivation. It is also an analysis of postconflict resilience against the odds, illustrating the adaptive possibilities of tradition in the context of globalisation and expectations of modernity.As a major contribution to understanding the emergence and expansion of informal transnational labour migration out of East Timor, this book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy makers of contemporary TimorLeste, Southeast Asian Politics, Southeast Asian Culture and Society, Development Studies, Anthropology and Conflict Studies.
