On the western half of the island of New Guinea, hidden from the world, in a place occupied by the Indonesian military since 1963, continues a remarkable nonviolent struggle for national liberation. In Merdeka and the Morning Star, academic Jason MacLeod gives an insider’s view of the trajectory and dynamics of civil resistance in West Papua. Here, the indigenous population has staged protests, boycotts, strikes and other nonviolent actions against repressive rule.This is the first in-depth account of civilian-led insurrection in West Papua, a movement that has transitioned from guerrilla warfare to persistent nonviolent resistance. MacLeod analyses several case studies, including tax resistance that pre-dates Gandhi’s Salt March by two decades, worker strikes at the world’s largest gold and copper mine, daring attempts to escape Indonesian rule by dugout canoe, and the collection of a petition in which signing meant to risk being shot dead.Merdeka and the Morning Star is a must-read for all those interested in Indonesia, the Pacific, self-determination struggles and nonviolent ways out of occupation. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 650 0 Passive resistance|zIndonesia|zPapua. 650 0 Government, Resistance to|zIndonesia|zPapua. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civil Rights.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMacLeod, Jason,|tMerdeka and the Morning Star : civil resistance in West Papua.|dSt Lucia, Qld. : University of Queensland Press, 2015.|z9780702253768 914 frd00007385
