By the author, (2021). Despite the inappropriate cover illustration, this is a serious study based on part on interviews with the descendants of the Girmitiyas, indentured workers from India who were brought to Fiji by the British from 1879-1919, primarily to work as laborers on sugar cane plantations. Between 1879 and 1916, a total of 60,000 Indians arrived in Fiji. Approximately 25,000 of these returned to India, but many remained in Fiji hoping for a better life. From 1900 onwards, some Indians arrived as free immigrants, who were mostly from the provinces of Gujarat, Sindh, and Punjab. This book reveals the horrific treatment of Indian indentured workers - the indenture system (Girmit) under which they were recruited was slavery by another name. Includes several appendices, one with a list of the ships which brought the Indians to Fiji, a glossary, notes and several pages of with photographs. Unpaginated (445 pp). ISBN: 979-8770093414.

Rochester, NY: University of Rochester Press, (1997) dj. Hardcover first edition - Under both the French and later the British, sugar dominated the island's agriculture since the early 1800s - and so it followed that science on the island would also be focused on sugar. This book examines, through using the history of sugarcane production in Mauritius, "the cross-cultural debates about the production and dissemination of science and technology from 'developed' to 'less-developed' countries and from elites to peasants within these countries. The book also shows in great detail that the history of science, technology, and colonialism can shed light on contemporary problems in natural resource management and global policy making." A volume in the series "Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora". Notes, bibliography, index. ix, 238 pp. ISBN: 1-580460151.
