A follow-up to the author’s highly regarded history of British ‘Town’ class cruisers, this book takes the same approach, combining coverage of the development, design details and career highlights of the original class as well as the Uganda, Minotaur and Tiger designs that were derived from them. Often called the ‘Colony’ class, they were an attempt to incorporate the characteristics of the preceding ‘Town’ class within the reduced 8,000-ton limit agreed under the 1936 London Treaty. In general layout, they resembled the earlier class but adopted upright rather than raked funnels and masts. The use of a flat, transom stern conferred both hydrodynamic and internal space advantages.\n\nNot surprisingly, they turned out to be very cramped ships which struggled to accommodate all the wartime additions of extra electronics and light AA guns, as well as the increased crew needed to man them. Many of the later modifications to existing ships and alterations to the succeeding designs were attempts to alleviate these issues, most visibly the reduction of the main armament from four to three turrets. Nevertheless, they were available in significant numbers and gave sterling service across all theatres of the naval war.\n\nIn this major study, Conrad Waters makes extensive use of archive material to provide a technical evaluation of the Fiji class design and its subsequent performance. He outlines the class’s origins in the context of inter-war cruiser policy, explains the design and construction process, and describes the characteristics of the resulting ships and how these were adapted in the light of wartime developments. An overview of service focuses on major engagements, assessing the extent to which the class met its designers’ expectations and detailing the consequences of action damage. Later chapters continue the story into the Cold War era, examining the various post-war modernisation programmes and concluding with the radical redesign of the Tiger class that produced the Royal Navy’s last conventional cruisers. Heavily illustrated with contemporary photographs, original plans and drawings by Dave Baker, John Jordan and George Richardson, British Fiji Class Cruisers provides a definitive reference to one of the Royal Navy’s most important Second World War warship designs.

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 observes, societies that do not eat people are fascinated by those that did, and often used this fact as an excuse to conquer, kill and enslave. Touring cities bustling with Indian merchants, quiet Fijian villages and taking part in communal ceremonies, he attributes the remarkable independence of Fiji to the fact that the indigenous social structure remains intact and eighty-three per cent of the land remains in local hands. Wright tells their story with wit and evident pleasure.

A charming debut historical mystery set in 1914 Fiji. Perfect for fans of Abir Mukherjee, Vaseem Khan and Sujata Massey.\n\n'AN UTTERLY CHARMING NOVEL ... NILIMA RAO IS AN AUTHOR WELL WORTH DISCOVERING' ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH\n\n'AN EXCEPTIONALLY PROMISING DEBUT' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW\n\n1914, Fiji: Sergeant Akal Singh would rather be anywhere than this tropical paradise - or, as he calls it, 'this godforsaken island'. After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to the far-flung colony of Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and embarrassed, he dreams of solving a big case, thereby redeeming himself and gaining permission to leave. Otherwise, he fears he will be stuck in Fiji for ever.\n\nWhen an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji's newspapers scream 'kidnapping', the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case, giving him strict instructions to view this investigation as nothing more than cursory. But as soon as Akal arrives on the plantation, he identifies several troubling inconsistencies in the plantation owners' stories, and it seems there is more to this disappearance than meets the eye . . .

Jack’s first impression of the stunning high-heeled city doc and her schnoodle is that they’re completely unsuited to farm life. But as his professional respect for Andi grows so does his desire… Whilst Jack’s cautious about being hurt again, indulging in temporary temptation is inevitable. Only when Andi’s time is up will they be ready to let go?\n\n\n \n Trapped…with only their chemistry for company! \n \n\n\n Trauma surgeon Della has a love-hate relationship with her work rival and brother’s best friend Harvey.

Meke, a traditional rhythmic dance accompanied by singing, signifies an important piece of identity for Fijians. Despite its complicated history of colonialism, racism, censorship, and religious conflict, meke remained a vital part of artistic expression and culture. Evadne Kelly performs close readings of the dance in relation to an evolving landscape, following the postcolonial reclamation that provided dancers with political agency and a strong sense of community that connected and fractured Fijians worldwide.\n\nThrough extensive archival and ethnographic fieldwork in both Fiji and Canada, Kelly offers key insights into an underrepresented dance form, region, and culture. Her perceptive analysis of meke will be of interest in dance studies, postcolonial and Indigenous studies, anthropology and performance ethnography, and Pacific Island studies.

This book focuses on the spatial experiences of Indian indentured labourers in Mauritius and Fiji and reveals previously unexplored labour movements across the so-called Indentured Archipelago. It offers a historical geographical perspective of the lives of these labourers in Mauritius and Fiji, situating their experiences in the wider context of spatial mobility and subaltern agency. The concept of re-migration - labourers moving between these colonies, and beyond - is explored, and the scale of this facet of indentured life is revealed, in a way which has not been done to date. It brings to the fore a debate on subaltern agency, and role of geography in exploring the lives of these labourers both within and between colonies. The book also brings to light the numerous proposals for the use of Indian indentured labour across the globe, highlighting the centrality of Indian indenture to the post-abolition labour discourse.

Centering on cases of sexual violence, this open access book illuminates the contested introduction of British and French colonial criminal justice in the Pacific Islands during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on Fiji, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu/New Hebrides. It foregrounds the experiences of Indigenous Islanders and indentured laborers in the colonial court system, a space in which marginalized voices entered the historical record.\n \nRape and sexual assault trials reveal how hierarchies of race, gender and status all shaped the practice of colonial law in the courtroom and the gendered experiences of colonialism. Trials provided a space where men and women narrated their own story and at times challenged the operation of colonial law. Through these cases, Gender, Violence and Criminal Justice in the Colonial Pacific highlights the extent to which colonial bureaucracies engaged with and affected private lives, as well as the varied ways in which individuals and communities responded to such intrusions and themselves reshaped legal practices and institutions in the Pacific.\n\nWith bureaucratic institutions unable to deal with the complex realities of colonial lives, Stevens reveals how the courtroom often became a theatrical space in which authority was performed, deliberately obscuring the more complex and violent practices that were central to both colonialism and colonial law-making. Exploring the intersections of legal pluralism and local pragmatism across British and French colonialization in the Pacific, this book shows how island communities and early colonial administrators adopted diverse and flexible approaches towards criminal justice, pursuing alternative forms of justice ranging from unofficial courts to punitive violence in order to deal with cases of sexual assault.\n\nThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by University of Waikato, New Zealand.

Giunto dalle isole Fiji a Milano, Bula lavora nella sua piccola sartoria di via Sarpi. Attorno alla bottega, tra una tazza di kava e leggende figiane, atelier di moda e gallerie d'arte del centro, si intrecciano le vite di Mita, che sogna di diventare stilista, del dj Luca, di un trader in carriera e del piccolo Faliero. Ma quando sull'attività di Bula incombe la minaccia di uno sfratto, i ritmi serrati della città lasciano spazio al Fiji time e si riscoprono i valori della condivisione, dei sogni e del perdono. Perché se un uomo si sceglie una famiglia, non è più un'isola ma un arcipelago.

Marshall Sahlins centers these essays on islands--Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand--whose histories have intersected with European history. But he is also concerned with the insular thinking in Western scholarship that creates false dichotomies between past and present, between structure and event, between the individual and society. Sahlins's provocative reflections form a powerful critique of Western history and anthropology.

Nuova Zelanda. La newyorkese Nancy, docente universitaria di astrofisica, conduce un tranquillo ménage quotidiano insieme al marito Michael e alla piccola Chloe. Quando i due coniugi partono con la figlia per una vacanza-fuga alle isole Fiji, la suocera Edith si presenta a sorpresa nel loro stesso albergo con il pretesto di badare alla nipotina. Quando Michael tenta di convincere la madre a fare ritorno a casa, Edith ha (o inscena?) un malore ed è trasportata d'urgenza in ospedale. Di ritorno dalla clinica, Michael muore tragicamente in un incidente d'auto. La vita di Nancy ne è sconvolta. Si troverà a fare i conti con l'assenza del suo compagno di vita. E con Edith. Il rapporto tra suocera, nuora e nipote evolverà, per i successivi dieci anni, in maniera imprevedibile. Attraverso le varie fasi della vita, Nancy ed Edith saranno nemiche e poi complici, contendenti e poi di nuovo alleate. La vita dispensa dolore - e gioia - quando meno ce lo si aspetta, e i concetti di spazio, tempo e luce che Nancy insegna all'università prendono all'improvviso a riguardare qualcosa di molto più intimo: un universo interiore. Nelle atmosfere domestiche che prendono vita dalla sciolta penna di Christine Leunens nulla rimane nascosto: ci sono il dolore, le recriminazioni e i dispetti; ma anche l'ironia, la leggerezza e la necessità di rifarsi una vita. Dedicato a chi detesta la determinatezza dei ruoli sociali prestabiliti, e a chi non rinuncia a indagare la complessità dell'animo di ogni donna.

Climate-induced disasters constitute a major risk to peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing on case studies from Cambodia, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Samoa, the contributions in this volume examine local response, recovery and adaptation strategies, incorporating the perspectives and knowledge of affected individuals and communities. Asia-Pacific is the world's most disaster-prone region, accounting for about half of the climate-related displacements of 19 million people globally in 2017. Climate-related, fast-onset hazards, such as floods, cyclones and typhoons, have claimed many lives, displaced a high number of people and caused widespread damage over the past twenty years. The cost of short-term response to and medium- to long-term recovery from climate-induced disasters falls disproportionately on the poorest and most marginalised communities within Asia-Pacific countries. \nThis book presents richly-detailed qualitative research from diverse contexts across the Asia-Pacific region, and adds to scholarship on the trajectory of community resilience and adaptation to climate-related hazards.

Con i figli lontani e il marito scomparso da tempo, Ruth vive nella casa sul mare in compagnia dei gatti e della propria svagata immaginazione. I ricordi d'infanzia nelle isole Fiji, gli amori passati e i pensieri di una vita fanno parte delle sue giornate al pari delle telefonate e delle faccende da sbrigare, in un morbido sfumare tra fantasie e realtà. Fino all'arrivo, un giorno, di un'ospite inattesa che, senza chiederle nulla in cambio, comincia ad aiutarla in tutto. Una donna energica capace anche, forse, di cacciare via il fantasma del salotto. Una presenza che per Ruth si rivela ben presto assai preziosa anche se forse un po' assidua, decisamente troppo assidua.
