Language Contact in a Plantation Environment: A Sociolinguistic History of Fiji - Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language
Jeff Siegel
Jeff Siegel's fascinating book provides a sociolinguistic history of language contact in Fiji where, from the 1860s until 1920, some 90,000 labourers from other Pacific islands and from India worked on the European-owned plantations. It focuses on the pidgins and other language varieties developed to meet the needs of peoples from different linguistic backgrounds and different cultures.
