Charting the trajectory of Suva from indigenous village to colonial hub to contemporary Pacific metropolis, it draws on a rich colonial archive and moving personal memoirs that bear witness to their time. The diverse contributions in this volume form a complex mosaic of urban lives and histories that contribute fresh insights into historical and ongoing debates about race, place and belonging. Suva Stories is a valuable companion to those seeking to engage with the city?s pasts and present, and will prompt new conversations about history and memory in Fiji. 410 0$aPacific Series 517 $aSuva Stories 606 $aAustralasian & Pacific history$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural history$2bicssc 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 607 $aSuva (Fiji)$xHistory 607 $aSuva (Fiji)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aFiji$zSuva$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJwtjb3gDrrRMtg9My9Yyd 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aFiji 610 $aUrban communities 610 $aUrban landscapes 610 $aPacific History 610 $acolonialism 615 7$aAustralasian & Pacific history 615 7$aSocial & cultural history 615 7$aUrban communities 676 $a996.11 700 $aHalter$b Nicholas$0852526 702 $aHalter$b Nicholas$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595463603321 996 $aSuva Stories$93020806 997 $aUNINA
