Episode 31: National Unity at What Cost? Remembering East Timor

Description: In this episode, we commemorate the upcoming 18th anniversary of the East Timor Independence Referendum of 1999. In light of the growing West Papua independence movement, as well as an alarming rise in 'blind patriotism,' we think it's incredibly important to remember the atrocities that preceded East Timor's independence and learn its lessons about nationhood, sovereignty, and self-determination. We also have Stephanie in conversation with John M. Miller, the national coordinator for ETAN, the East Timor & Indonesia Action Network, an NGO created in 1991 to help facilitate and support the East Timor independence movement. We hope that in talking about East Timor and honestly confronting the tragedies of the past, we can not only hold our beloved nation accountable but also walk down a greater and more just path for the future of Indonesia.
