Excerpt
In Merdeka and the Morning Star: Civil Resistance in West Papua (2015), Dr. Jason MacLeod provides a detailed case study of the Papuan struggle for self-determination, while also offering a broader framework on how nonviolent struggles for self-determination can be waged effectively. MacLeod combines a deep exploration of the unique conditions in West Papua with general strategies for civil resistance, making the book both a specific account of the Papuan context and a useful guide for similar movements worldwide.
