Writing for Rights Volume II
The five narratives published in this book are products of direct engagement with the people. Indeed ELSAM seeks to forge a new step in organizing training and education programs on human rights issues. ELSAM encourages trainees to apply their knowledge in the field.
This book is also written from the perspective of insiders. All of the writers are young Papuans. It is fair to say that the narratives in this book represent the thoughts and feelings of the next generation of Papuans in making sense of the developments and the roles they play in their homeland.
This book is not limited to what is written on its pages, but also the critical situation illustrated between the lines. The book invites not to just read the words of the young Papuans, but also to delve deep into their thoughts and feelings. Throughout the book, there is a growing sense of crisis, a feeling of the young Papuans being threatened and marginalized due to developments that can rarely be rationalized.
