by Eliot Rifkin

You may have heard of West Papua, now part of Indonesia, in their striving for self-determination.  However do you know how West Papua arrived in its conflict? ...or our northern neighbour’s history?

4ZZZ's Eliot Rifkin explores West Papua's history with Professor Clinton Fernandes (University of NSW) in the first part of a 4 part series.

Music is a potent source of cultural resistance in West Papua - so this interview ends with "Abul Wantok” (One Voice) performed by George Telek.

coming soon… Pt 2 - “1969 Vote to Present”
