Extraordinarily painful first chapter about discourses etc. Read like high theory for its own sake. Second chapter a little better so far but still painful.

Look not to harp on this too much but you can’t call your book “counter-colonial discourse” if the first **200** pages are English colonial officials sniping at each other in letters, not that I don’t enjoy that.

My opinion of this book is not improving. I’m over halfway through and we have not gotten to the hypothetical subject of the book, inter-communal debates among Fiji Indians about sexual morality and how that impacted Indian politics in Fiji. For a book notionally about counter-colonial discourse, almost every quotation has been from a British administrator. He said he wasn’t doing a history of Fiji Indians, but.
