Crossing: a Story of East Timor by Luis Cardoso
Luis Cardoso's beautifully lyrical memoir of growing up in East Timor portrays a people and a culture struggling to form their own identity under successive waves of colonialism. Its central image is a travessia, a crossing: between child and adult, Portugese and Timorese, tolerance and repression, colonialism and independence.
Since returning to Timor, Luis Cardoso has served on the Maubere Resistance National Committee, and worked as a reporter, a teacher and a storyteller. This is his first book.
