This essay focuses on the coup that took place in Fiji on the 19th of May 2000. It begins with a couple of autobiographical anecdotes regarding Mishra's school days in Fiji and goes on to examine Fijian and Indo-Fijian histories. Mishra then discusses the role played by the self-proclaimed leader of the 2000 coup, George Speight, and Speight's kailoma heritage (literally 'child of love,' kailoma is used to refer to the 'part-European community' in Fiji).
