Abstract:
This paper traces the development of Fiji English as a variety of English distinct from standard British English. This variety of English has been used colloquially; however, in the recent past, it has been slowly creeping in to students’ academic papers. Some of its vocabulary may be seen to be quite distinct from standard British English. This paper will first discuss the classifications and models of World Englishes that have been proposed by scholars such as Kachru, Schneider, Quirk and Bolton, among others. These classifications try and explain the differences in the ways English developed its own varieties in different countries. It will then attempt to explain the stages Fiji English went through to give birth to its own distinct variety of English. Finally, it will examine some of the sources of Fiji English lexis.

Abstract:
The export of Indian indentured labour to British oversea colonies containing sugar, cotton and indigo plantations began around mid-nineteenth century. One of the destinations was Fiji, the British island colony in the Pacific, to which the Indian labourers, men and women, mainly went from East UP and West Bihar where Bhojpuri was spoken. While archival documents can help us trace the fortunes of individuals, their own feelings and sentiments are best preserved in their songs orally carried from one mouth to another for decades. The earlier songs contain mournful dirges over separation, the misery of those whom they left behind and their own afflictions in Fiji’s harsh white-owned plantations. As the migrations ceased, the Fiji–Indian people’s interest shifted to restoring their connection with Hinduism and its customs, and this has become more prominent in later folk songs. The gender problem (women outnumbered by men) was severe earlier but has now eased as with the passage of generations, the sex ratio has normalised.

Abstract:
The influence of a range of actors is discernible in nutrition projects during the period after the Second World War in the South Pacific. 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.

Abstract:
Fiji inherited a British colonial healthcare system. In 2010 the long dormant mental health law was replaced by the Mental Health Decree (MHD), which set up divisional mental health units for the purpose of managing mental health problems outside of the old asylum. The Ministry of Health recruited an overseas consultant to help improve training. Under the MHD, stress management wards, stress management clinics and stress management day centres have been set up, to decentralise and deinstitutionalise psychiatric care. These are on the whole doing reasonably well and have good client acceptance.

Abstract:
British rule in the former Crown Colony of Fiji was a paradoxical affair in several ways. The first Governor, Sir Arthur Gordon, had been shocked by the dispossession of the New Zealand Maori and was determined to subordinate settler interests in Fiji to those of the indigenous population. From the time of cession by a group of paramount chiefs in 1874, administrative policies and structures aimed to defend, protect, and institutionalize the traditional Fijian communal system. For example, what were thought to be traditional chiefly privileges, such as rights to produce, were legally enshrined and articulated with an indirect rule system of appointed village, district, and provincial chiefs. Land was made the inalienable property of clan groups of certain types (which Fijians were obliged to create where they did not already exist).

Abstract:
The study of Indian indentured servitude in the British Empire has largely been confined to the histories of slavery or free labor. Few scholars have connected indenture to larger processes in the British Empire. This dissertation examines the global nature of Indian indenture to find how trends in colonial power were inflected in the relationship between the state and the indentured worker. This dissertation uses the colonial experience in South Asia as a basis for its global history. It contends that the history of the colonial rule of law in the subcontinent was of deep importance to the mechanisms of indenture. By looking at archival records from the United Kingdom, Trinidad, Fiji, and elsewhere, this dissertation finds that officials in the indenture colonies were attempting to transform indebted Indian peasants into indentured workers. This process was inflected by the experience of colonial rule elsewhere. At first, this meant the implementation of ideas tied to imperial liberalism. Following the challenges to British colonialism in the mid-nineteenth century, the indenture colonies mirrored a wider movement towards conservative governance. The ways in which the colonial state attempted to control and manipulate workers underwent a dramatic shift. In the indenture colony, colonial power exerted both authoritarian and paternalist tendencies. This dissertation uses the governorships of Arthur Hamilton-Gordon in Trinidad and Fiji to explore this shift. This dissertation makes its argument by focusing on the indenture colonies of Trinidad and Fiji. In doing so, it moves beyond the model of studying indenture that has looked at the British Empire as a whole, or otherwise in specific colonies or sub-regions. Using Trinidad and Fiji allows for a deep understanding of continuity and change. For example, Trinidad can be used to examine indenture’s beginnings, as the colony began to import Indian indentured labor in 1842, while Fiji can be used to understand late indenture. Furthermore, colonial officials, ideas of authority, capital, labor, and goods were always circulating throughout this global empire. The study of Trinidad and Fiji allows for a critical understanding of such exchanges and this dissertation uses both to explore bureaucratic offices, law, financial systems, governance, protest, medicine and health, and global agitation in Indian indenture. “The Currents of Restless Toil” is an in-depth study into the nature of colonial governance in the indenture colonies of Trinidad and Fiji. It explores the nuances of colonial power, providing a window into the theory and practice that shaped the restless toil of Indians across the world.

Abstract:
This book shows that the aspirations of individual Americans to be recognized as people worthy of others' respect was a driving force in the global extension of U.S. influence shortly after the nation's founding. The book contends that extraterritorial Americans constituted the vanguard of a vast, early U.S. global expansion. Using nineteenth-century Fiji, the “cannibal isles” of American popular culture, as a site of historical investigation, the book uncovers stories of Americans looking for opportunities to rise in social status and enhance their sense of self. Prior to British colonization in 1874, extraterritorial Americans had, the book argues, as much impact on Fiji as did the British. While the American economy invested in the extraction of sandalwood and sea slugs as resources to sell in China, individuals who went to Fiji had more complicated, personal objectives. The book considers these motivations through the lives of the three Americans who left the deepest imprint on Fiji: a runaway whaleman who settled in the islands, a sea captain's wife, and a merchant. It shows how ordinary Americans living or working overseas found unusual venues where they could show themselves worthy of others' respect—others' approval, admiration, or deference.

Abstract In this chapter, Perianes and Kissling examine informal interviews about menopause experiences and discourse conducted among participants in four nations: British-Iranian Shardi Nahavandi interviewed her Persian mother; Swetha Sridhar interviewed her mother and grandmother, all currently from different regions of India; Ursula Maschette Santos spoke with three women from her community in São Paulo, Brazil; and Jennifer Poole conducted a focus group discussion with 17 participants of the NGO Medical Services Pacific in Fiji, which included six men. Noting that each nation and community has its own norms and traditions, the authors find common themes of ambivalence around aging, community silence about menopause, and insufficient education or preparation for the menopause transition.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter discusses why, despite the negative assumptions regarding the islands of Fiji during the nineteenth century, Americans still went there. Indeed, several thousand of them voyaged to Fiji on merchant, whaling, and naval vessels in the decades before British colonization of the islands in 1874. And more than a hundred Americans lived and died there. From a macro perspective, explaining the American presence in Fiji seems simple. Their rationale was economic: Americans went to Fiji to extract resources to sell in China. Fiji became one leg in the U.S.–China trade and a source of great wealth for the American merchants who gambled their fortunes on it. However, a closer inspection reveals that the foot soldiers of early U.S. global expansion, the individual Americans who ventured overseas, did so for more complicated reasons. An assortment of personal ambitions impelled Americans to travel to distant locales. Their motivations, albeit multiple and divergent, often derived from a desire to be respected by others and thereby attain a sense of self-worth. Their strivings to rise in others' estimation influenced the course of Fiji's history and, albeit more subtly, the history of the United States.

Abstract:
This chapter presents a fictionalized narrative of Totaram Sanadhya’s brief visit to Sydney in 1914. Pundit Sanadhya migrated to Fiji as an indentured labourer and spent twenty-one years on the Pacific Island. He became a nationalist and collaborated with C.F. Andrews in bringing down the indenture system. The story is based on the evidence provided in Sanadhya’s journal, published as My Twenty-One Years in the Fiji Islands (1991). As a work of fiction the narrative transcends temporal boundaries and refers to historical events that took place outside Sanadhya’s real time, such as Srinivasa Shastri’s visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1922–3 to inquire into race relations in these parts of the British Empire. This narrative embodies the process of circulation of people and ideas central to this book, with Sanadhya becoming an archetypal ex-indentured Indian from Fiji, visiting white Australia and encountering its racist bigotry.

Abstract:
The book’s opening chapter described reconciliation as a theoretical framework from which contemporary indigenous politics is played out across Australia, Fiji and New Zealand; jurisdictions with marked contextual differences, but sharing a need for ordered and relationally just terms of association among indigenous peoples, the state and wider societies as they respond to British colonial legacies. While grounded in Christian public theology, reconciliation transcends the notion of a sacramental relationship between God and penitent involving sorrow, forgiveness and correcting broken relationships, to provide a metaphor for just intra-national relationships. Religious discourses of reconciliation have influenced secular indigenous politics in each jurisdiction. They help to rationalise the politics of indigeneity’s juxtaposition with liberal democracy to position differentiated citizenship as a legitimate constituent of the liberal political arrangements that prevail in Australia and New Zealand and that the international community seeks to impose on Fiji....

Abstract:
Pacific islanders have made Christianity their own, including the Methodism introduced by British missionaries in the early nineteenth century. At times, island Methodism has challenged political and social traditions, dissenting from racism against immigrant communities or undemocratic rule. In other cases, Methodism has enjoyed privileged status as the established religion of the land. In Tonga it thrived under royal patronage. In Fiji it attracted nationalists whose racial essentialism drew it into a military coup and the machinations of a dictator. Either way, Methodist churches have been challenged in recent decades by breakaway revival movements and new denominations, many of which seek to return Methodism to its roots in spiritual holiness. These challenges continue to reflect the active agency of islanders in shaping the religious life of their communities.
