Fiji is currently under criticism for instituting a racially discriminatory constitution and for shaping a regime to Melanesian rule. The author inquires if there is any real hope for a rapid change in the unstable condition with special reference to the background of the coups in May and September 1977, campaign for the election to be held in the middle of 1992, ethnic tensions, the tribal role in recent developments and Fiji's external relations.

"This book considers the vital importance of local communities to just and sustainable tourism futures.

A climate of neoliberalism challenges the work of scholars whose research focuses on societal well-being through embedded community research and critical analysis of public policy, planning, and industry practices, what we call academic activism. This article draws on the autoethnographic insights and critical narratives of four tourism scholars to describe and analyze in a systematic manner the experiences of these researchers each engaged in what they consider to be academic activism. Our aim is to bring into focus and raise as matters of concern the future of tourism research in the neoliberal university and the need for greater critical and reflexive engagement by researchers in their positionality and agency. Although the contexts in which we work and our experiences differ greatly, the article identifies common themes, challenges, and opportunities within our approaches to research and action. Four emergent themes arose through the narrative analysis that helped to structure insights and findings: experiential journeys that shaped our current academic positionality and philosophical approaches to research and practice; a preference for embedded situated methodologies; a reflexive understanding of our political positioning; and a critical situated approach to understanding the external influences upon our research and strivings to contribute to the public good. The article raises challenging questions on the meaning of tourism research and the "public good" in the neoliberal university, and what being an academic activist entails in this context.
