{"product_id":"fiji-and-the-franchise-ahmed-ali-9780595692217","title":"Fiji and the Franchise: A History of Political Representation, 1900-1937","description":"Fiji by the year 1900 after a generation as a British Crown Colony was a multi-racial nation with a combined indentured and free Indian component, which was about to expand on a large scale, and contest political predominance with indigenous Fijians and a small but dominant European minority among other ethnic groups. Drawn from primary sources, and packed with original quotations and statistics, \u003ci\u003eFiji and the Franchise\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the history of the struggle that followed. This book introduces modern readers to life in the Fiji islands from 1900 to 1937, when the ultimate question for its inhabitants was how political representation should be achieved, and on what basis. \u003ci\u003eFiji and the Franchise\u003c\/i\u003e was Dr. Ali's eminently readable and well-grounded Australian National University doctoral thesis. It was presented in 1973 but still remained unpublished when he suddenly became ill on a visit to India and, as bravely as he had always lived, passed away in 2005. Now, Dr. Ali's work lives on as a tribute to and record of this amazing island nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmed Ali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595692214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595692217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Ahmed Ali","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441119932671,"sku":"9780595692217","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f54eba58-f9df-48d3-a7de-73f11b8fafe7.jpg?v=1777188822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fiji-and-the-franchise-ahmed-ali-9780595692217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
