Fiji and the Franchise

More about the book

Set in Fiji around 1900, the narrative explores the complex dynamics of a multi-racial society shaped by a history as a British Crown Colony. It highlights the tensions arising from a growing Indian population—both indentured and free—who challenge the political dominance of indigenous Fijians and a small European minority. This backdrop sets the stage for a rich exploration of cultural interactions, power struggles, and the evolving identity of a nation on the brink of significant change.
