The Indonesian Invasion 5. The Occupation of East Timor 6. Collapse and Resurgence 7. Solidarity and Conversion Afterword BibliographyReviewsConnelly cuts through the modes of avoidance that shield us from seeing what we do not want to see - that East Timor's crime was its very existence. Her discussion of scapegoating and its associated ancient and modern myths is an unsettling but valuable experience. --Clinton Fernandes, Professor of International and Political Studies, University of New South Wales, Australia Susan Connelly is the gentle but relentless Australian advocate for the Timorese quest for justice. She travelled to Timor for many years and worked in the Mary MacKillop Institute of East Timorese Studies. She continues to campaign for truth, transparency and fairness for a small neighbouring nation whom successive Australian governments, she attests, have not treated as an equal partner. In this book, Susan Connelly draws on the mimetic theory of Rene Girard to show how the East Timorese people were scapegoated by Australian foreign policy. Her unique on-the-ground experience, knowledge and involvement combined with her scholarly research make this an compelling read. --Vincent Long OFMConv, Bishop of Parramatta, Australia Connelly cuts through the modes of avoidance that shield us from seeing what we do not want to see - that East Timor's crime was its very existence.
