"Victor Barker Went To Fiji to find the real Fiji - the hidden faces of a Pacific community - which is far different from that presented in tourist brochures.  And its multi-racial society provided him with much more than just waving palm trees and coral islands.  He found a Fiji, hundreds of feet below the surface of an extinct volcano, where sturdy islanders worked in a gold mine; in the sugar cane areas and the annual harvest, and on the copra plantations."
