Under the Ivi Tree
This study concerns the differentials of economic growth among the Fijian people. It brings together relevant factors drawn from social, cultural, economic and political analysis. As a case study in economic growth, it portrays the interplay between individuals and the social and economic conditions which surround them, and demonstrates the limitations of the institutions within which they function. Controversial points of interpretation are discussed and supported with documentation gathered from field-work. Originally published in 1964.
Slavery, Smallholding and Tourism
SLAVERY, SMALLHOLDING AND TOURISM explores the political economy of development in the British Virgin Islands -- from plantations, through the evolution of a smallholding economy, to the rise of tourism. The study argues that the demise of plantation economy in the BVI ushered in a century of imperial disinterest persisting until recently, when a new 'monocrop' -- tourism -- became ascendant. Using an historical and anthropological approach, O'Neal reveals that the trend toward reliance on tourism and other dependent industries echoes for many BVIslanders -- the 'Belongers' -- their heritage. Part of the Classic Dissertation Series from Quid Pro Books, the book adds a new Foreword by Vassar's Colleen Ballerino Cohen and additional commentary by UC-Irvine's Bill Maurer, who shows how even the emergence of a financial services industry may be understood through the insights that O'Neal presents in his study. Quality eBook formatting features active Contents, linked notes, original tables and maps, and Index.
