The People Have Spoken
India’s Part in the Politics of Fiji’s Decolonization
United Nations (UN) demands for the unconditional ending of colonial rule troubled British officials confronted by local political difficulties impeding their efforts to establish self-government for Fiji, alarmed Indigenous Fijian leaders who initially resisted that reform, and encouraged the polarizing demand by Indo-Fijian leaders for a common franchise. India was initially at the forefront in maintaining UN pressure on Britain to move Fiji ra…
Averting ‘Irresponsible Nationalism’
Historians of politics in colonial Fiji highlight the contrast between Indian leaders' challenge to European dominance and Fijian chiefs' alignment with European political leaders in defence of colonial rule and against a perceived ‘Indian threat’. While this was the major political divide, its emphasis has neglected a moment of disaffection on the part of the leading chiefs that perhaps had the potential to provoke a challenge to the colonial or…
The changing role of the Great Council of Chiefs
Live and in Limbo
This article presents a detailed case study of a single transactional analysis consultation session based on the supervisory processes first described by Eric Berne (1968/1977) and John O'Hearne (1972). The consultation process included the client directly in discussion about the ongoing therapy, including its successes and points of impasse. The consultant, the therapist, and the client each reflect on the results of the consultation
Seldom a transition with such aplomb
British officials initially had difficulty persuading the indigenous Fijians to accept the prospect of self‐government, so crucial in their eyes was the colonial state for their security. By the late 1960s, however, the officials were preparing to accede to a Fijian demand for political control provoked by a militant Fiji Indian campaign for the replacement of communal representation with the common franchise. The Fijians' stance was soon tempere…
Accommodating Indigenous Privilege
Although colonial rule was more divisive in Fiji than almost anywhere else in the British empire, the archival record does not support the commonly held view that the British Government willingly perpetuated racial division for a self-governing Fiji. The documents highlight both the officials' desire for radical change and the powerful local constraints against it. By the late 1950s, the British authorities were hoping to move Fiji towards the co…
Culture and Identity in the South Pacific
Pour l'A., les etudes portant sur les traits discursifs generaux comme les « identites oppositionnelles », l'« objectification de la culture », l'« invention », ou la « reinvention » des traditions, ont neglige l'analyse systematique de la relation entre discours et contexte social. Les conditions sociales en ont ete obscurcies. L'A., qui presente une discussion comparative des Fidjiens, Ni-Vanuatu et Maoris, permet d'identifier ces variables. Il…

Measuring Marital Quality
This paper critically examines the operationalization of marital quality indices used as dependent variables. First, it looks at the functioning and construction of marital quality variables. In particular, Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale is used to illustrate the arguments. Second, it presents both semantic and empirical criteria to judge the development of a marital quality index. Finally, it presents a Quality Marriage Index (QMI) based on t…
Assertiveness as a Communication Construct
Previous research in assertiveness has often failed to differentiate the behaviors to be subsumed within the construct. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to isolate and define the subconstructs of assertiveness as they emerged from the structure of two assertive inventories—the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule and the College Self Expression Scale; (2) to evaluate assertiveness as a communication construct by examining it in the framework o…
