Abstract

This study began and begins as an account of land settlement by Europeans and of the vicissitudes of expatriate plantation agriculture in British New Guinea and Papua between 1 884 and 1 942 . It became and becomes at the same time a narrative of the settler experience and a prolonged meditation upon the moral difficulties that surrounded and surround the Western intrusion.
