A Vision for Change
Author: Brij V. Lal
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1921862335
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
"This collection of the writings and speeches of one of Fiji's greatest statesmen, the late Mr AD Patel, points to a different future which, if allowed to come to fruition, would have spared Fiji the fate it later encountered in its postcolonial journey. As a leader, Mr Patel was unmatchable in intellect and oratorical brilliance, glimpses of which we see in this volume. Dr Lal deserves to be congratulated for his patience and perseverance in completing this project. This book will find an honoured place among others on Fiji's complex and contested modern history." - Harish Sharma, Former Leader of the National Federation Party and Deputy Prime Minister of Fiji

Book Description
"Dr Lal's book is more than an eloquent account of the political struggle of one of Fiji's outstanding leaders. It is a timely reminder that the process of constitutional change hangs in the balance, as it did at the time of Mr Patel's death.

20th Century Fiji
Author: Stewart Firth
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
"Reefs, islands and friendly people, Fiji has all those things but much more besides including a fascinating history. This is first and foremost a book about people and their lives, but it is a history of Fiji as well, covering a century that took the country from colony to independence and from a dominion to republic. Excerpts from the Fiji Times, together with a comprehensive gallery of photographs, convey a sense of what the old Fiji was like and what it has become. No century has changed Fiji more tha the one just ended. This book tells the story of that century through the lives of the men and women who did most to shape Fiji, and who left their mark on the Fiji of today. Their names come from every walk of life, from the mightiest to the lowliest. This book was written not by one person or two, but by seventeen. Like the people they write about the authors come from across the ethnic and cultural spectrum of the country. Here, in what they have written, you will find not just the great political leaders of Fiji such Ram Sir Lala Sukuna, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara and A.D. Patel, but the poets and artists, the businessmen and women, the trade unionists, the soldiers, the sports enthusiasts, the people of religion and those who offered their lives in service to the disadvantaged. This book is meant to record and honour their contribution, and in doing so to celebrate the nation itself.
