The Crossing: A Story of East Timor
East Timor hit the world’s newspaper headlines in August 1999 after its bloody, brave vote for independence from Indonesia — one of the great expressions of a people’s democratic spirit. Exquisitely crafted and evocative, Luis Cardoso’s personal history of his homeland takes as its central image a crossing — from child to adult, Portuguese to Timorese, tolerance to repression, colonialism to independence.
