In June 2009, Teodosio Ximenes participated in the Timorese National Short Novel Writing Competition and won first prize for his story “Ha’u Maka Lucas” (I am Lucas). Teodosio’s book, which has recently been published, tells the story of the Timorese ‘stolen generation’ committed by the Indonesian army between 1978 and 1980. The Indonesian army took Timorese children, especially boys, away in order to prevent them from continuing the political ideology of their parents which was against Indonesia’s illegal occupation in East Timor. Some of these children have already been returned to East Timor and reunited with their family. However, many are still in some parts of Indonesia without knowing their real identity.

In Australia: The book can be obtained from the AETA-Melbourne. Contact person John Sinnot: 03 94162960

In Timór: The book is available in Xanana Reading room in Lecidere, Dili.
