Vakatora’s autobiography is From the Mangrove Swamps (Suva: Institution of Pacific Studies and Fiji Extension Centre, University of the South Pacific, 1988).18 See, also, Coel Kirkby, ‘The Commonwealth Constitution-Maker’, in Commonwealth History in the Twenty-First Century, ed.

Independent confirmation of Brij’s anthropological credentials is provided by Robert Norton. On 4 Nov. 2009, Norton was having coffee with Brij at Garden City in Suva, and he joked about their reversal in roles – that while his (Norton’s) academic interests were turning from anthropology to history, Brij’s research into squatter settlements meant that he was trending from history to anthropology (information from Robert Norton, 19 Aug. 2023). Norton clearly remembers the time and place because, later that day, Brij was taken to Queen Victoria Barracks where he was ‘interviewed’, roughed up, and told to leave the country within 24 hours, or else.
