Listen, My Country chronicles her extraordinary journey from a childhood governed by ancient customs and colonial upheaval to her emergence as one of Papua New Guinea's most respected and pioneering women — a trained teacher, community leader, and member of the House of Assembly.\n\nWedega's narrative presents a vivid and deeply personal portrait of a nation in transition, capturing the collision of indigenous tradition with missionary influence and colonial governance across several defining decades. Her voice is measured yet impassioned, offering an intimate ground-level perspective on the social and political forces that shaped modern Papua New Guinea. A rare autobiographical account from a Pacific woman of her era, this work remains an invaluable historical document — and a story that compels the reader to ask what courage truly looks like when an entire world is changing around you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736407249115,"sku":"2026200018527-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5c44cbce-15a2-4004-8858-bcf16dddbdfe.png?v=1792122933","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018527-secondhand-listen-my-country","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
