A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book, written by renowned historian H. Stonehewer Cooper, provides a captivating and in-depth exploration of Coral Lands, focusing on the Fiji Group. Situated on the eastern boundary of Melanesia, the Fiji Group comprises over 80 inhabited islands and boasts a population of over 150,000. The author skillfully interweaves historical accounts with personal observations, capturing the essence of this captivating archipelago and the complex dynamics of its native communities. Coral Lands traces the history of the Fiji Group from its volcanic origins, through the earliest Polynesian settlements, to the arrival of European explorers and the eventual cession of the islands to Great Britain in 1874. Cooper delves into the diverse cultures, traditions, and political systems of the various indigenous tribes, shedding light on their social structures, religious beliefs, and practices like cannibalism. One of the book's central themes revolves around the challenges and opportunities faced by the native Fijian population in the wake of European colonization. The author explores the impact of missionaries, traders, and settlers on the islands, highlighting both the benefits and the disruptions they brought. Cooper also examines the complex relationship between the British colonial administration and the indigenous chiefs, offering insights into the often-fraught negotiations and power struggles that shaped the course of Fiji's history. Cooper's extensive research and keen eye for detail make this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Fiji Group. The author's vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes bring the islands and their people to life, providing a rich and multifaceted perspective on this fascinating region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
