Indigenous Fijians were singularly fortunate in having a colonial administration that halted the alienation of communally owned land to foreign settlers and that, almost for a century, administered their affairs in their own language and through culturally congenial authority structures and institutions. From the outset, the Fijian Administration was criticised as paternalistic and stifling of individualism. But for all its problems it sustained, at least until World War II, a vigorously autonomous and peaceful social and political world in quite affluent subsistence — underpinning the celebrated exuberance of the culture exploited by the travel industry ever since.

Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVIII FISHING AND ITS SUPERSTITIONS To say that the waters of Fiji teem with fish is a commonplace. Yet few people realise how plentiful the scaly denizens of the deep really are in that beautiful group of islands. Every little nook and cranny of the never-ending coral reef affords a home for some kind of life. It is marvellous what wonders they can reveal to him who knows how and where to look. A little effort will yield much even to the uninitiated. I have sometimes taken up a piece of broken coral out of the shallows, and found clinging to it numbers ot dainty creatures of every conceivable hue. Amongst them are to be seen the most brilliant green, and blue, and yellow fish; it almost seems a pity to call them by their common name. On the other hand, one suddenly happens on the most awful monstrosities that could be imagined. And between these two extremes may be placed all those piscatorial species which the Fijian knows so well, and which he is so skilful in catching. Fishing in Fiji was at one time carried on by professional clans, who were well plied by their chiefs with food and yangg&na as a reward for their labours. In Mbau, the ancient clan still follows its pursuit, but in these days the occupation has fallen principally into the hands of the women; probably because, under the Government regime, they have more daily leisure than the men. Hand-line fishing in deep water is still the occupation of the men, and, in connection therewith, there are some interesting superstitions. If a man is preparing his bait (cuttle-fish,1 cockles, young mullet, etc.), and has it lying in a heap before him, no other person may carelessly step over it. If he should do so, the owner of the bait would be justifiably angry, for no fish would...
