  • A Time Bomb Lies Buried: Fiji's Road to Independence
    1. Introduction In his Christmas message to the people of Fiji, Governor Sir Kenneth Maddocks described 1961 as a year of `peaceful progress'.1 The memory of industrial disturbance and a brief period of rioting and looting in Suva in 1959 was fading rapidly.2 The nascent trade union movement, multi-ethnic in character, which had precipitated the strike, was beginning to fracture along racial lines. The leading Fijian chiefs, stunned by the unexpectedly unruly behaviour of their people, warned them against associating with people of other races, emphasising the importance of loyalty to the Crown and respect for law and order.3 The strike in the sugar industry, too, was over. Though not violent in character, the strike had caused much damage to an economy dependent on sugar, it bitterly split the Indo-Fijian community and polarised the political atmosphere.4 A commission of inquiry headed by Sir Malcolm Trustram Eve (later Lord Silsoe) was appointed to investigate the causes of the dispute and to recommend a new contract between the growers, predominantly Indo-Fijians, and the monopoly miller, the Australian Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR). The recommendations of the Burns Commission Ð as it came to be known, after its chairman, the former governor of the Gold Coast (Ghana), Sir Alan Burns Ð into the natural resources and population of Fiji were being scrutinised by the government.5 The construction of roads, bridges, wharves, schools, hospital buildings and water supply schemes was moving apace. The governor had good reason to hope for `peaceful progress'. Rather more difficult was the issue of political reform, but the governor's message announced that constitutional changes would be introduced.

Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.

  • Nutrition Projects in Colonial Fiji, 1945–60

Influences include: international trends in nutritional science, changing ideas within the British establishment about state responsibility for the welfare of its citizens and the responsibility of the British Empire for its subjects; the mixture of outside scrutiny and support for projects from post-war international and multi-governmental organisations, such as the South Pacific Commission. Nutrition research and projects conducted in Fiji for the colonial South Pacific Health Service and the colonial government also sought to address territory-specific socio-political issues, especially Fiji’s complex ethnic poli,tics. This study examines the subtle ways in which nutrition studies and policies reflected and reinforced these wider socio-political trends. It suggests that historians should approach health research and policy as a patchwork of territorial, international, and regional ideas and priorities, rather than looking for a single causality. Keywords: Colonialism, Fiji, History of Nutrition, Maternal and Child Health, Race, South Pacific Introduction In 1937 the governor of Fiji reported to the British Colonial Office that the islands were a fertile paradise with ‘no shortage of food amongst any section of the population.

  • Migrant Labourers As British Protected Persons 141
    Migrant labourers as British protected persons 141 Migrant labourers as British protected persons The Gilbertese experience, 1892–1908 Doug Munro, David McCreery and Stewart Firth Abstract The process of labour migration, especially through indenture, was essential to the operation of European enterprises in various parts of the Pacific in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Treatment and conditions of labourers varied considerably but not for nothing was indenture sometimes called the ‘penal contract system’. This paper looks particularly at the nature of the ‘protection’ offered by colonial (especially British) powers as they groped to understand just what they meant by a ‘protectorate’. Seeking to understand the contrary British protection of Gilbertese labourers in German Samoa and the lack of institutional protection for Gilbertese labourers in Central America, the paper highlights the importance of the personal roles of individual actors in the colonial project whose efforts served to ameliorate somewhat the sad tale of this small group of inadequately protected ‘protected persons’. Keywords indentured labour; protectorates; Gilbertese labour; Kiribati The Journal of Pacific Studies, Volume 27, no.2, 2004, 141–160 © by JPacS Editorial Board (SSED,USP) 141 Migrant labourers as British protected persons 143 over us when they leave the limits of the protectorate’.1 The following year, 98 Gilbertese were recruited for German plantations in Samoa under a special arrangement with the British. On this occasion, however, the British used the fact of protected person status to place the Gilbertese under the protective oversight of the local British Consul—and this despite their having left the limits of the Gilbert Islands Protectorate.

  • Colonial and Post-Colonial Ethnocracy in Fiji
    Colonial and Post-Colonial Ethnocracy in Fiji Sanjay Ramesh University of Sydney Abstract This paper analyses colonial ethnocracy, post-colonial ethnocracy, inter-ethnic alliances and new forms of ethnocratic ethnocracy in Fiji as historical sociology. Utilising Oren Yiftachel’s theorisation of ethnocracy and location of ethnicity and race in historical structures, I intent to problematise ethnocracy in Fiji as socio- historical moments, comprising of the hegemony of the ethnocratic colonial regime, post-colonial political discourse between Indo-Fijian and indigenous Fijians within post-colonial ethnocracy and inter-ethnic collaboration and alliances that led to the political reconfiguration of the ethnocratic polity, ethnoclass and supposedly non-ethnocracy from 2006. Introduction Fiji has a history of ethnic tensions where Europeans, indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians competed for ethnocratic hegemony. The British colonial authorities established colonial ethnocracy based on the concept of harmony of indigenous and European interests where indigenous Fijian chiefs supervised indigenous cultural discourses and the Europeans controlled the economy and the state. Nevertheless, the colonial regime introduced ethnic complexity and brought Indian indentured labourers to Fiji to protect indigenous Fijians from the destructive forces of plantation capitalism, based on cultivation of sugar on European alienated indigenous Fijian land. By 1945, the Indo-Fijian population had overtaken that of indigenous Fijians and Europeans and by the 1960s,

All rights reserved Printed in Great Britain www.elsevier.com/locate/worlddev 0305-750X/$ - see front matter doi:10.1016/j.worlddev.2003.12.001 British Colonial Legacies and Political Development MATTHEW K. LANGE * Brown University, Providence, RI, USA Summary. — This paper investigates the developmental legacies of British colonial rule. It draws on insight from qualitative case studies, which show that direct and indirect rule institutionalized very different states and thereby differentially affected postcolonial political development. The study proposes that these qualitative findings might provide insight into mechanisms underlying past statistical work on colonial state legacies. Using a variable measuring the extent to which 33 former British colonies were ruled through indirect legal-administrative institutions, the analysis finds that the extent of indirect colonial rule is strongly and negatively related to several different indicators of postcolonial political development while controlling for other factors. It therefore provides evidence that the present levels of political development among former British colonies have historical roots and have been shaped by the extent to which they were ruled either directly or indirectly during the colonial period.

  • Fiji Fisheries Resources Profiles
    FIJI FISHERIES RESOURCES PROFILES Compiled by Andrew Richards1 with contributions from Maciu Lagibalavu2, Subodh Sharma2 and Krishna Swamy2 FFA Report No.94/4 1Research Coordination Unit, Forum Fisheries Agency 2Fiji Fisheries Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry PREFACE The South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) was approached by the Fiji Fisheries Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forests to provide technical assistance in the compilation of a set of Fisheries Resources Profiles. While no specific terms of reference were provided by the Ministry, those used for the preparation of Profiles in other FFA member countries were followed: ? With assistance from national fisheries staff, examine all closed and current files pertaining to fisheries resource matters in Fiji; ? Assess, collate and compile all written matter, data, etc., which provides information relating to resource abundance, distribution, exploitation, etc., in Fiji; ? Review existing legislation controlling the exploitation of living fisheries and marine resources in Fiji and advise on appropriate regulations for controlling the existing fisheries for those resources currently not protected; ? Based on the information examined, produce a comprehensive set of resource profiles for the fisheries and marine resources of Fiji. The report was prepared before, during and after a three week visit of FFA’s Research Coordinator, Mr. Andrew Richards to Fiji in October/November 1993. This report provides an overview of the fisheries and marine resources identified as being of importance to the commercial, artisanal and subsistence fisheries sectors in Fiji. The main purpose is to provide the basic information required to assess the current levels of exploitation, and to identify the research and management requirements for future developments.
