Description

This academic study examines nation-building processes in Papua New Guinea and explores resistance to state authority in the peripheral province of Manus. The book investigates the Wind Nation and the Paliau Movement, historically documented by anthropologists Mead and Schwartz, offering insight into how local communities have resisted centralised governance. A critical analysis of postcolonial state formation and indigenous opposition movements, this work contributes to understanding political dynamics in the South Pacific region during the critical period following independence. Essential reading for scholars of Southeast Asian history, political anthropology, and postcolonial studies seeking to understand how marginalised communities negotiate their relationship with nation-states.

Key Features

Examines the Wind Nation and Paliau Movement as significant examples of organised resistance to centralised authority.

Draws on historical research by renowned anthropologists Mead and Schwartz studying the Manus region.

Part of the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies series, providing scholarly perspective on postcolonial governance.

Analyses the relationship between peripheral communities and state power in the South Pacific context.
