Description

This Routledge study examines nation-building processes in Papua New Guinea and the resistance movements that challenged state authority in the country's peripheral provinces. The research focuses on Manus and explores how Wind Nation, successor to the Paliau Movement documented by anthropologists Mead and Schwartz, mounted intense opposition to state consolidation. The book provides critical insight into how young postcolonial states encounter organised resistance from communities seeking alternative social and political structures, offering valuable perspectives on state power, indigenous autonomy, and the complexities of nation-building in the Pacific region.

Key Features

Examines nation-building processes in Papua New Guinea with focus on state formation and centralisation efforts.

Analyses Wind Nation and the Paliau Movement as significant resistance movements in Manus Province.

Draws on anthropological research by Mead and Schwartz to contextualise historical opposition to state authority.

Explores tensions between state power and peripheral communities seeking autonomy and alternative governance.

Published by Routledge as an academic study of postcolonial politics in the Pacific region.
