"This is a participant history of the struggle for indigenous rights in West Papua, New Guinea, against exploitation and "slow-motion genocide" by Indonesian and New Zealand elites. Using recently declassified documents, the manuscript charts the evolution of New Zealand foreign policy to frustrate the aims of pro-independence leaders in West Papua. It also provides historical background to the ideology and actions of West Papuan independence efforts, with help from trade unions, student groups, aid agencies and other support groups in New Zealand and around the world."--Provided by publisher
