<p class="MsoNormal">Dear TLSA colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to inform you about my new book ‘<b><i>Activism and Aid: Young citizens’ experiences of development and democracy in Timor-Leste</i></b>’ published March 2016. A flyer is attached. The book was launched in Melbourne on 17 March
and is available from Monash University Publishing <a href="http://www.publishing.monash.edu/books/aa-9780980510874.html">
http://www.publishing.monash.edu/books/aa-9780980510874.html</a> or Readings Bookshop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Synopsis<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Timor-Leste’s independence was forged at a time international developmental theory had rejected top down approaches and recognised the importance of participatory approaches informing developmental strategies. When the arrival of the United
Nations and a multitude of bilateral and multilateral and non-government organisations arrived in Timor-Leste in 1999 it was hoped that the international intervention would at last produce a development success story.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Independence also brought the realisation that dreams for an independent Timor-Leste varied, often according to their generation. Three generations of Timorese: the political elite, a younger generation of independence activists (<i>gerasaun
foun)</i> and today’s youth of independent Timor-Leste, each bring their own experiences and face different challenges in Timor-Leste. Today stark contrasts between the values of customary life and those of the modernising world place both community leaders
and young Timorese at a crossroads. The experiences of the Timorese are unique, but this book reflects a broader analysis about how aid influenced process of development can work in greater harmony with the people to realise their own visions of the future
of the nation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will be launching the book in Dili in June or July. I will need a distributor to sell it in Dili – any suggestions you have would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
