Description 292 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Summary "Over the last seven decades, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has grown from a disparate collection of traditional societies loosely governed by its neighbour, Australia, to a thriving, developing state. The story of how PNG came to lose its colonial shackles and gain independence is one of collective endeavour, as the tiny group of Papua New Guineans who gathered in the dusty streets of Port Moresby transformed into the leaders of the new nation. One of them was the young teacher, Ebia Olewale, who in his own journey from the village to the nation experienced many triumphs and tragedies. PNG's story - from the village to the world - is retold in this book, through the experiences of Ebia Olewale." -- Back cover Subject Olewale, Ebia Nationalism -- Papua New Guinea -- History.
