Fiji is a country whose recent political instability can be
directly traced to its distinctive colonial and post-colonial
experience. For one particular region of Fiji the authors examine
the environmental, social and economic aspects of this experience,
at scales ranging from national and regional to island, village and
household. Discussions in Third World geography, regional economics
and development planning have been full of rhetoric about
'underdevelopment', 'centre-periphery relations' and 'dependency',
but seldom are the actual processes which give rise to these
phenomena examined in detail. In this book the authors explore in
depth the interrelations between the island landscape, the cultural
geography of the islanders and the intrusive values and
opportunities of the market economy. Some important lessons are to
be learnt from the gap between what might be predicted from
abstract theories of development and what is actually happening in
the real world of politicians, planners, farmers and fishermen.
