Description
The People of East Timor endured the brutality of colonization and invasion, to emerge into the uncertain light of nationhood. At this point of transition, through stunning images and insightful texts, East Timor: Testimony presents the whole gamut of a people’s history, culture, and aspirations. Nine authors, including renowned investigator Noam Chomsky, have contributed original essays. Sixty-four of photographer Elaine Briere’s eloquent photos, richly reproduced as duotones, form the core of this haunting, informative book.
