The Best of Grass Roots 1980-81 captures the early brilliance of Bob Browne's beloved creation, "Grass Roots"-the everyman with the wild hair and the keen eye for the absurdities of post-independence life. Through a series of biting yet affectionate comic strips and essays, the book navigates the tensions of a rapidly changing nation. Whether he's poking fun at "big man" politics, the frustrations of bureaucracy, or the clash between traditional village life and modern urban sprawl, Grass Roots remains a relatable voice of the people. This anthology isn't just a collection of laughs; it is a vital historical document that offers a unique, satirical perspective on the social and political landscape of PNG during the early 1980s. A must-have for collectors of Pacific literature, political satire, and cultural history.…
