Sommario/riassunto

In 1975, Papua New Guinea became an independent nation. Thirty years on, Denoon traces the colorful history of PNG's rapid decolonization and Australia's involvement in this process. This is a compelling and authoritative account that challenges the contemporary perceptions of post-colonial PNG.
