The Unruly Dead: Spirits, Memory, and State Formation in Timor-Leste - Critical Human Rights
Lia Kent
“What might it mean to take the dead seriously?” asks Lia Kent in this exciting new contribution to critical human rights scholarship. In Timor-Leste, a new nation-state that experienced centuries of European colonialism before a violent occupation by Indonesia from 1975 to 1999, the dead are active participants in social and political life.
