Squatters in an island paradise

Anyone who thinks urban squatters are confined to megacities, think again:

Squatters now make up 12 percent of the population of Fiji, according to this dispatch from Fijilive, and rural residents are continuing to trek to Suva, the capital city that is home to 3/4 of the country's population.

I just found your site and book. Great stuff. I've been doing work based on Jacques Ellul's book "The Meaning of the City."

Thanks,
Kevin
