Description

The book "Chalo Jahaji" is an outstanding contribution to the field of subaltern studies. It is a biographical journey written by a living relic of the indentured experience, showcasing a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach. This work is a great example for anthropologists, sociologists, and economists who aim to integrate their disciplines in a major historical work (Brinsley Samaroo, University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad).

Professor Lal's research on Indian indentured labor in Fiji is highly commendable. He employs innovative methodological approaches and considers both quantitative and literary sources. His beautifully written articles present fresh and novel findings (Ralph Shlomowitz, Flinders University of South Australia).

Professor Lal's body of work establishes him as the premier scholar of the Indian diaspora. His meticulous research, depth of scholarship, empathy, and elegance have earned him great respect among Indian diaspora scholars. The themes covered in this book are relevant to other overseas Indian communities and are handled with mastery, securing his reputation (Clem Seecharan, University of North London).

"Chalo Jahaji" by Brij Lal offers an intensely personal journey through his life and that of the 60,000 Indians who became girmitiyas in Fiji. The intricate history is presented in a measured manner, revealing Lal and his family in a way that historians seldom do. This proud grandson of a girmitiya is equally a proud son of Fiji. "Chalo Jahaji" exemplifies Pacific history at its best - rigorous, critical, informative, and deeply involved (Clive Moore, University of Queensland).
