Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
Australian policy in Papua New Guinea from 1945-1975 derived from full acceptance of the principles of trusteeship and a course of action that led the people out of tribal disunity and a multiplicity of mutually unintelligible languages to nationhood. This book recalls the difficulties of post-war reconstruction, problems of tropical disease and lack of education, the expansion of administrative control, the development of the highlands, the drive for economic independence, the politics of nationalism and sub-nationalism, and the final transfer of power.
