In little more than a century, Fiji islanders have made the transition from cannibalism to Christianity, from colony to flourishing self-government, without losing their own culture. As Ronald Wright... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book doesn’t seem relevant anymore. It doesn’t give enough of Fijian history to justify it’s dated and boring writing. Not impressed
Great book to read if traveling to Fiji

This was a fun book to read while traveling in Fiji. It provides a great perspective of the history of the islands complete with interesting and sometimes entertaining antecdotes of the author's travels through Fiji. The text alternates between the author's personal travel experiences and a drier (but still interesting) history of Fijian native culture and colonial influences.
