At the height of its power the mountainous territory sprawled over some 2500 square kilometres of monsoon forest and savanna woodland. The political fortunes of the Nabuasa clan and the development of southern Amanuban were inextricably linked to and indeed reflected in the emergence of Amanuban as a regional power. The object of this chapter is to develop an historical and regional view of the particular political and cultural context which made this possible. In the process we gain a perspective on the development of Meto statecraft in reaction to the fluctuating fortunes of European colonialism. There are two general sources of information on the past in Timor. The first of these are the recorded myths of the oral tradition of indigenous Timor. The limitations of these sources, like those common to most mythical tales, include the ambiguity of the narrative, the absence of true chronology and the tendency to collapse time into a single dimension of the past. Nevertheless, in the absence of alternative records in many cases, they provide the only authoritative sources of information on the former political structures of the island. The second source of information comprises the documented historical records which in this case represent the views of Portuguese and Dutch traders and officials in the region over the last three centuries. One of the limitations of these written records, however, is their fragmentary nature. Despite the Dutch mania for detail prior to the twentieth century there were few systematic attempts to understand and record the internal political organization of the indigenous Timorese domains. This applies even more so to the Portuguese. The evidence that is available provides informative if partial accounts of the political strategies and events that coloured the character of social life in the interior of Timor in former times. These limitations are not surprising given that the Dutch, in particular, faced considerable difficulties","PeriodicalId":415289,"journal":{"name":"Paths of Origin, Gates of Life","volume":"42 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120820012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
