The Embarrassed Colonialist by Dorney, Sean

ISBN: 9780143573951 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Australia FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 160 PUBLICATION DATE: 15.02.2016 DIMENSIONS: 18 x 11.6 x 1.2 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: Forty years after independence, Papua New Guinea is the largest single recipient of aid from Australia. Yet Australians seem to be largely ambivalent about the country. Few Australians know the history of our colonial rule in PNG and our long ties to the country are quickly being forgotten. PNG expert Sean Dorney examines PNG's weaknesses and strengths since independence and argues that, for moral and practical reasons, Australia needs to reconnect with Papua New Guinea. It is time we shed our embarrassment about our colonial past and embrace our relationship with our nearest neighbour.
