This book hopes to presentthe readers more than just an account of how Masi is made,
though this will of course be a large component of the book.The book is divided
into two sections. The first section sets Fiji in its geographical and historical context, atthe same time showing the reader where masi was traditionally made. This done, it then continues on to explain
every aspect of the process used today to make masi.The second sction of this book endeavours to
describe the place of masi in the world of the traditional Fijian.Finally, the authors look at masi in the modern world of Fiji, exploring how many acient rituals continue, and how others have been modified to cater
to the demands of people who no longer live a village lifestyle, but are what one Fijian friend called "Fully Urbanised Natives".
