First Edition. Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xviii + 143pp, notes, index, prior owner's name title page, upper cover corner trifle creased, otherwise a very good paperback copy. "The author became interested in Karo Araua when she heard for the first time the 'Song about Karo', the poem in traditional form in which he was the hero. It was part of her interest in the colonial condition, which was stimulated when she read of the way the lives of those in gaol can throw a great deal of light on the lowly who are also illiterate. Most writings about Papua New Guinea deal with the successful people who managed the colonial encounter. Karo, hanged in Port Moresby in 1938, was not successful, but his name lives on among his own people." Publisher's description. Seller Inventory # 177325
