"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.

Autorenporträt
Maire Leadbeater grew up in a politically active family, where campaigning for peace and many other causes came with the territory. A former Auckland city and regional councilor, she spent her working life as a social worker, but is now retired and finding more time for writing and for activism. For the past 25 years Maire has campaigned for freedom for East Timor and West Papua. In 2017 she has awarded the Order of Timor-Leste by the Timorese Government. Her previous books are Negligent Neighbour: New Zealand's collusion with the invasion and occupation of Timor Lest (2006) and Peace, Power and Politics: How New Zealand became nuclear free, published by Otago University Press in 2013. Maire has two adult children and five grandchildren.
