Book Description
"In the island of Timor some twenty languages and dialects are spoken, and the Tetum taught in this book is not the rural or 'classical' variety of the language, but Tetum-Praca, the structurally simpler and lexically richer verancular of Dili which, during the centuries of Portugese rule, spread from the capital throughout the eastern half of the island as a lingua franca. Although Tetum has no official status today, it is the language in which East Timorese from different regions prefer to communicate, and it remains very much alive in the colonies of East Timorese that have grown up in Australia and Portugal since 1975. Tetum is also widely used by the East Timorese Catholic Church in its worship and everyday dealings with the people, and it is now becoming the vehicle of a modern literature." -- Inside back cover.

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive country overview of Southeast Asia’s newest nation, Timor Leste (East Timor). This book focuses on its cultural and ethno-linguistic diversity, and its political history from the pre-Portuguese period up to 2009. The book pays particular attention to the historical roots of the current challenges to nation-building by reviewing the Indonesian occupation; guerrilla warfare by the Timorese against the occupiers; the politics leading up to the United Nations’ popular consultation and the vote for independence in 2002. Explaining the structure of the government and its parliamentary system, this book highlights the problems and historical and cultural underpinnings of the challenges Timor Leste faces in building a stable viable nation. The author presents a synopsis of selected issues including: language, truth and reconciliation, the Catholic Church’s political activism, internal security problems, the ‘politics of oil’, and the fact that violent conflicts, from 2005 to date, have made it necessary for the United Nation’s peacekeeping forces to return. Thus far, the book argues, Timor Leste’s nation-building efforts have been hampered by the dynamic interaction of number of national and international factors. The first comprehensive political and cultural history of East Timor to date, this book fills a gap and will be an important single reference resource for students and researchers in the field of Southeast Asian Studies, Anthropology and Political Science.

Book Description
This volume considers a range of ways in which bilingual programs can make a contribution to aspects of human and economic development in the global South. The authors examine the consequences of different policies, programs, and pedagogies for learners and local communities through recent ethnographic research on these topics. The revitalization of minority languages and local cultural practices, management of linguistic and cultural diversity, and promotion of equal opportunities (both social and economic) are all explored in this light.
