{"product_id":"9781041189596","title":"Timor-Leste's Long Road to Independence : Transnational Perspectives by Rui Graca Feijo","description":"From a much neglected Portuguese colony to independence, Timor-Leste travelled a belated, long and troubled journey that included a 24-year Indonesian occupation. A classic process of European decolonization (1974-1975) was followed by a nationalist struggle against \"Third World Colonialism\" (1975-1999), and a final phase under the direct aegis of the United Nations (1999-2002). More than a direct relation between coloniser and colonised, this turbulent process involved the participation of many different actors scattered around the world. The \"Timor Issue\" brought to the scene a martyred people's determination, the diplomacy of several nations (friends or foes), the involvement of the United Nations, and the activism of solidarity networks. This collection adopts a transnational approach that highlights the complexity of Timor-Leste's road to independence.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368614637941,"sku":"9781041189596","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041189596","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
