so-soEast Timor gained independence from Portugal in 1975, only to be invaded by Indonesia less than a week later. The colonial rulers paid little attention to the education of the Timorese. Anafalbetism was high and when the country finally became independent in 2002 (and chose the Portuguese name #TimorLeste) its language was mainly an oral one. This is one of the first books written about the country. Interesting.
