“[A] magisterial history of twentieth-century Fiji.... The historical research is thorough and scrupulous, and the presentation is lucid. Lal brings together a wealth of information, much of it previously unavailable and the earlier available materials often reframed in thought-provoking ways.... Perhaps its greatest strength is that is presents the history of modern Fiji as very complicated and multifaceted.” —The Contemporary Pacific Pacific Islands Monograph Series No.11 Published in association with the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai‘i

Some fifteen hundred years before the birth of Christ, voyaging people first reached the group of islands in the Pacific we now know as Fiji. Today, an independent state for thirteen years after nearly a century of British colonial rule, their homeland is shared by others besides those original Polynesian settlers, and its history reflects the circumstances of their arrival and involvement. Some fifteen hundred years before the birth of Christ, voyaging people first reached the group of islands in the Pacific we now know as Fiji. Today, an independent state for thirteen years after nearly a century of British colonial rule, their homeland is shared by others besides those original Polynesian settlers, and its history reflects the circumstances of their arrival and involvement. The original settlers lived in communication with Tonga and Samoa, invoking deified ancestors to control their environment, installing great chiefs who were themselves living gods, harvesting land and sea and startling their neighbours with their ferocity in battle. In the early nineteenth century the first European traders began to arrive, together with Wesleyan and Catholic missionaries: European residents increased in number, traders and cotton planters seeking to control land and labour, until in the early 1870s outside interference led to the failure of a new mixed race independent government and put the Islands into the hands of Britain. British rule in Fiji led to the introduction of an Indian labour component in the population to maintain a new sugar industry. Over the next hundred years this transformed both the economy and the demography of Fiji; for most of the present century Fiji's history has been dominated by Indians' demand for equal political rights, Fijians' desire to sustain an autonomous way of life, and Europeans' ambition to retain dominance. Since independence in 1970, consensus in the interests of nation-building has been a major goal.

Of all the island groups in the outer Pacific none surpass the Fijis in their rare combination of beautiful scenery and interesting natives. The islands are upon the opposite side of the world from England, for the meridian of 180° passes through the centre of the group crossing the island of Taviuni... That dauntless old rover, Abel Jansen Tasman, discovered them in 1643 on his way from Tonga in the Heemskirk and Zeehaan and named them "Prince William's Islands" and "Heemskirk's Shoals." After this, they were all but forgotten until July 2, 1774, when Captain James Cook sighted the small island of Vatoa in the extreme southeastern end of the group. The natives fled into the forest upon the approach of his boat, and he contented himself by leaving a knife, some medals and nails in a conspicuous place. Finding many sea-turtles in the region, he named his land-fall "Turtle Island," and then departed from the Fijis never to return.
