Popis: Western history is typically written from a Western perspective. In particular, the public histories created by colonial governments characteristically ignore or downplay indigenous perspectives. This paper examines labour recruitment among the Abelam people of the Sepik Foothills of New Guinea during German colonial times and explicitly considers events from an Abelam point of view. It argues that, by considering local narratives and including local voices, more complete and nuanced historical constructions of colonial enterprises can be achieved.
