The Embarrassed Colonialist: Penguin Special (Penguin Specials)
Forty years after independence, Papua New Guinea is the largest single recipient of aid from Australia. Yet Australians seem to be largely ambivalent about the country. Few Australians know the history of their colonial rule in PNG, and their long ties to the country are quickly being forgotten. PNG expert Sean Dorney examines PNG's weaknesses and strengths since independence and argues that, for moral and practical reasons, Australia needs to reconnect with Papua New Guinea. It is time they shed their embarrassment about their colonial past and embrace their relationship with their nearest neighbor.
