O livro Timor-Leste - À luz do Sol Nascente é um livro de fotografias feitas em Timor-Leste. Não é um livro de viagens, porque ali o autor já não se sente estrangeiro. É antes um livro de vivências e memórias, do que viu e sentiu quando fez as fotografias, e dos fotografados. É, por isso, um livro feliz. À luz rasante do sol nascente vão-se erguendo paisagens milenares que a mão do Homem não modificou, sucedem-se vivências e gestos simples do dia a dia que o autor decidiu perpetuar e partilhar, surgem rostos de indivíduos que espelham a alma de um povo. No entanto, somos advertidos que não só de sorrisos se faz o semblante deste povo, que teve de ultrapassar as mais árduas provações em demasiados momentos da sua História. Neste livro encontramos um contraste de paisagens, ora verdejantes ora áridas, mistifórios de culturas e de sensações, muitos sorrisos e outros tantos olhares taciturnos, o barulho das crianças a brincarem e o privilégio do silêncio noturno sob mares de estrelas. Estas páginas serão certamente as responsáveis pela questão que ficará a pairar na mente do leitor: "Quantas horas de avião me separam de Timor-Leste?". Timor-Leste À Luz do Sol Nascente de João Galamba

This book highlights how, and why, torture is such a compelling tool for states and other powerful actors. While torture has a short-term use value for perpetrators, it also creates a devastating legacy for victims, their families and communities. In exposing such repercussions, this book addresses the questions ‘What might torture victims need to move forward from their violation?’ and ‘How can official responses provide truth or justice for torture victims?’ Building on observations, documentary analysis and over seventy interviews with both torture victims and transitional justice workers this book explores how torture was used, suffered and resisted in Timor-Leste. The author investigates the extent to which transitional justice institutions have provided justice for torture victims; illustrating how truth commissions and international courts operate together and reflecting on their successes and weaknesses with reference to wider social, political and economic conditions. Stanley also details victims’ experiences of torture and highlights how they experience life in the newly built state of Timor-Leste Tracking the past, present and future of human rights, truth and justice for victims in Timor-Leste, Torture, Truth and Justice will be of interest to students, professionals and scholars of Asian studies, International Studies, Human Rights and Social Policy.

"All I have is a carry-on, a stethoscope, and a basketball in a mesh cinch bag." Before Doctor Dan Murphy’s ongoing fight for healthcare in Timor-Leste, he lived another life worth sharing. In an otherwise untold story, Breakaway gives an intimate account of the beginning of his story: growing up in small-town Iowa where basketball taught him how to keep his balance both on and off the court. It is with this same amount of focus and determination that he would later fight for global healthcare. From Cuba to Mozambique, from India to Vietnam, Dr. Dan served some of the most underprivileged people across the globe. He shares incredible moments when history was made, including teaming up with activist Cesar Chavez during his famous “Si, se puede” era. Breakaway explores humanity as it is made fragile by poverty, disease, addiction, and desperation. Yet, it reminds us that acts of courage and compassion unite people in search of a cure for injustice and infection. Includes exclusive pictures from Dr. Dan's childhood and activist work with Cesar Chavez. All proceeds from the book will go to the Bairo Pite Clinic in Dili, Timor-Leste.
