Description
8220Awonderfully rich, insightful and
personally touching collection of essays by the
Pacific region8217smost prolific and engaging
historian. Brij Lal writes eloquently and
poetically about his professional and political
journeys, and the many different people and
worlds he has encountered on the way. Readers
will be inspired by this collective account of
a courageous life committed to the achievement of
democratic freedom and social justice. What
shines through these pages is Lal8217slove of
and commitment to Fiji, from which he has been
painfully exiled.8221- David Hanlon, Professor
of History ampFormer Director of the Center for
Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawaii at
Manoa. 8220Inersections is a compilation of
Brij Lal8217sessays where academic knowledge
combines with life world experience. The
voice behind these essays is always courageous
and the writing itself indicative of a highly
disciplined mind. Read this book with an open
mind as Lal explores with sensitivity a country
he loves intensely and as he reminisces on the
vocation of a scholar. Savour the
book8217shistorical insights, enter into its
subaltern worlds, debate and challenge its
findings, and in that moment of engagement shed a
tear for a country which has lost its
memory.8221- Vijay Mishra, Professor
of English, Murdoch University 8220Brj Lal is a
master craftsman and all his skills are on
display in this fascinating work which blends
autobiography with social, political
and historical analysis to produce a work of
impeccable
scholarship. Lal emerges as much more than a
historian as he reflects on the discipline of
History, the changing nature of academic life,
the challenges of the Indian diaspora,
indenture and his travels. He may be banned from
his homeland, but somehow one gets the impression
that his influence is alive in
6
Fiji, his adopted Australia and across the world.
True to his indentured roots, he is still
digging, still writing, and still
making history.8221- Goolam Vahed, Associate
Professor of History, University of KwaZulu-Natal
