About This Book

In the 2019 Backhouse Lecture, Jason MacLeodshares what he has learnt about accompanying West Papuans – and to a lesser extent Aboriginal people, Bougainvilleans and East Timorese – in their struggle for self-determination. Through personal stories, he tries to make sense of this experience in ways that might speak more broadly to Quakers. This lecture is a deeply personal reflection on what one person thinks it takes to animate freedom and accompany Indigenous peoples on a journey from empire to the 'good life.'

Second interlude: The 1,000-drum canoe
My Papuan friends speak of their island as bird—a beautiful bird of paradise—green and blue, lightly brushed with the white of snow-capped peaks, resting just above Australia. In the west, the bird’s head looks towards the Indonesian archipelago. Stretched out behind the bird’s body, a long luxuriant tail flows east to Papua New Guinea.
