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":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615125749911,"sku":"9780198273226","price":21057.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198273226.webp?v=1775098211","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-failure-of-democratic-politics-in-fiji-9780198273226","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
