Michael Webb, University of Sydney and Camellia Webb-Gannon, University of Wollongong

Les autochtones néo-calédoniens luttent pour leur indépendance depuis la colonisation française, en 1853. A travers des chants de révolte, ils célèbrent les héros de la résistance et racontent les traumatismes passés.
