Drawing on archival material and fieldwork, she traces the sources of the current divisions in Fiji to the well-intentioned, but ultimately misguided, ambitions of colonial administrators to protect the way of life of indigenous Fijians. The author comes to the provocative conclusion that Fiji has never really been a democracy in the Western sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667122815264,"sku":"NEW0198273223","price":195.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/612n4gKrwDL.jpg?v=1778959189","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-failure-of-democratic-politics-in-fiji-0198273223","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
