You said: "Look at Fiji, the quietist place on Earth till a few >weeks ago. But under the surface, something had been brewing. >Indigenous people versus smart immigrants, in this case. Don't >people ever see these things coming?" I am no expert on Fiji but I know enough to know that your comment about Fiji is trite, insulting and dismissive on many counts, not just to the people of Fiji - Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Perhaps you should think before you hit send, or at least contain yourself to the Northern hemisphere!! Jane --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
