Hear the word Fiji and you are likely to think of turquoise waters, lush foliage and a year-round tropical paradise. But this island nation is more than a place to which to escape. Its fascinating history includes a brief background as to how Fiji became a British Crown Colony between 1874 and 1970, which period is overlapped by the monopoly of Fiji's sugar industry by the Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) of Australia between 1880 and 1973 when sugar was the mainstay of Fiji's economy.

Indigenous Fijians were singularly fortunate in having a colonial administration that halted the alienation of communally owned land to foreign settlers and that, almost for a century, administered their affairs in their own language and through culturally congenial authority structures and institutions. From the outset, the Fijian Administration was criticised as paternalistic and stifling of individualism. But for all its problems it sustained, at least until World War II, a vigorously autonomous and peaceful social and political world in quite affluent subsistence — underpinning the celebrated exuberance of the culture exploited by the travel industry ever since.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
