The Dead as Ancestors, Martyrs, and Heroes in Timor-Leste

Book Overview

During the 24-year Indonesian occupation of East Timor, thousands of people died, or were killed, in circumstances that did not allow the required death rituals to be performed. This book focuses on the dynamic interplay between the potent presence of the dead in everyday life and their symbolic usefulness to the state.
