The chiefly classes in the kingdom of Tonga Cant, Daphne Grace

Abstract

This thesis analyses the role of the chiefly classes in the Kingdom of Tonga during three distinct decades between 1770 and 1980. Using six variables, the roles of the chiefly classes are compared and evidence is presented in support of a contention that the power base of the chiefly classes has shifted from the local village level to the centralized national government.
