Reviews

Here at last is the account I can unreservedly recommend to anyone interested in the courageous people and fragile geography of Indonesian Papua. Eben Kirksey makes accessible the unique imagery of Papuans long-subject to racism, corporate exploitation and a brutal military. Verbally swimming through his personal experiences, Kirksey maintains impeccable scholarship. Beyond that, he rises above conventional political ideology to define a form of conflict resolution relevant to many 'Entangled Worlds.' Bravo! --Max White, Amnesty International USA
