Lals Academic Writings / Compiled by Doug Munro."It is a pleasure to commend this collection of very different essays that celebrate, reflect upon and extend the life and work of a remarkable scholar. Although I have had, at times, a close association with Brij Lals life and work, I have learned much from reading this book. It provokes further thought about the course of democracy in Fiji, and the very sorry state and future of Pacific history and the humanities in academia. Here is a timely assertion of the significance and major contribution that courageous scholars such as Brij have made to the study and public awareness of these areas of concern"--Jacqueline Leckie, University of Otago.State, society and governance in Melanesia (Series)FestschriftenIndentured servantsFijiBiographyEast IndiansForeign countriesIntellectual lifeFijiPolitics and governmentFijiHistoryFestschriften.Indentured servantsEast IndiansIntellectual life.996.11Munro DougCorbett JackAustralian National University Press.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219862603321Bearing witness1930318UNINA02050oam 2200649 450 991070680500332120180322162302.0(CKB)5470000002459422(OCoLC)58532953(EXLCZ)99547000000245942220050318d1991 ua 0engurgn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierJedburgh team operations in support of the 12th Army Group, August 1944 /by S.J.
