That occupation produced a refugee diaspora spread between Portugal and Australia that has been integral in advancing East Timor's cause abroad. Because East Timorese in the diaspora identified strongly as exiles and invested so much in pursuing East Timor's independence, the homeland's liberation has complicated the very basis on which many have "imagined" themselves since fleeing to Australia.Wise interrogates the space after exile for members of the East Timorese diaspora in Australia, in dialogue with key debates on diasporic identities within cultural studies, contemporary anthropology, and cultural geography. Drawing on innovative ethnographic research, explores questions of shifting identity and home, trauma and embodiment, belonging and return among the East Timorese abroad at this critical juncture in their lives. The book asks what forms of cultural identity emerge among politically active refugee diasporas, what happens to such groups when the dream of homeland is fulfilled, and how they renegotiate a sense of home after exile.The lived experience of Timorese in Australia and former refugees who have returned to East Timor is brought to life through their eloquent and often moving firsthand narratives, which the author has used liberally throughout the book, vividly presenting them alongside images and analysis of their role in the political struggle.Providing unique insights into cultural identities in the transition from exile to diaspora in a post-refugee group, is essential reading for anyone interested in questions of home and identity among diasporic, transnational, and refugee communities. 410 0$aContemporary ethnography. 606 $aReturn migration$zTimor-Leste 606 $aEast Timorese$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 606 $aExiles$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.)$xSocial conditions 606 $aExiles$zTimor-Leste 606 $aPolitical refugees$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.)$xSocial conditions 606 $aPolitical refugees$zTimor-Leste 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aLinguistics. 615 0$aReturn migration 615 0$aEast Timorese 615 0$aExiles$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aExiles 615 0$aPolitical refugees$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPolitical refugees 676 $a959.87/032 700 $aWise$b Amanda, $01575542 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781884303321 996 $aExile and Return Among the East Timorese$93852579 997 $aUNINA
