[Easttimorstudies] query re east-west conflict + search for thesis

[ABO]

Dear list members,
just a short follow-up on Bob's question about Loro Munu vs. Loro Sae.

I recall hanging out with young Timorese friends in Dili last year when they 
referred to these terms ... rather jokingly. They had quite a ball 
attributing different "inherent" characteristics of Firaku/Kaladi to each 
other. Therefore, it is rather sad and shocking to observe how these terms 
have apparently turned into a serious political issue now.

Secondly, I am (desperately) trying to find Dionisio Babo Soares' Phd thesis 
'Branching from the Trunk: East Timorese Perceptions of Nationalism in
Transition (ANU). Could any of you provide me with some advice on how to 
access it (electronic or paper delivery, download). Apparently, it hasn't 
been published internationally since I couldn't find any ISBN.

Thanks so much and best regards from Germany
Andre Borgerhoff
