Transformations in Independent Timor-Leste (eBook, ePUB)

Dynamics of Social and Cultural Cohabitations
Redaktion: de Matos Viegas, Susana; Feijó, Rui

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book examines a vast array of transformations that have taken place over the past decades. It puts forward the idea of "cohabitations", which aims at inscribing the mutual influences arising from the existence of distinct social processes not only side by side but in their mutual influences and entanglements, sometimes resulting from effective clashes, some others from peaceful manipulation of social and cultural differences. From this analytical viewpoint of evolving power dynamics of cohabitations, experts in the field investigate issues that have been contentious in the recent past and analyse the challenges that present-day Timor-Leste is facing.
