Drooglever, Pieter 2009 (November) An Act of Free Choice; Decolonisation and the Right to Self-Determination in West Papua Oxford Oneworld Publications [880 p. ISBN 9781851687152 This book, a translation of the Dutch original (see Drooglever 2005) introduces the history and peoples of West Papua, tracing the origins of the international conflict surrounding their struggle for self-determination from the Second World War. Originally commissioned by the Dutch Parliament and based on extensive original archival research, Drooglever's research reveals the so-called Act of Free Choice (Penentuan Pendapat Rakyat or Pepera) of 1969 to be a sham and highlights the continuing impact of this injustice on one of Indonesia's most underdeveloped and impoverished regions - kdj] [Purchase online at http://www.oneworld-publications.com/cg ... og_pid=yes].
