According to westerners, Tonga has never been touched by modern |
|
society and the best excuse for monarchism is living on a small |
|
island? Is it not more sad still when non-westerners feel the |
|
need to justify their monarchy to westerners? |

Lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, halfway between New |
|
Caledonia and French Polynesia, emerges a string of islands |
|
stretching for nearly 500 km: Tonga. Kings have reigned since |
|
antiquity in this country, which has overcome more than one |
|
challenge: avoiding colonization, preserving its language and |
|
traditions, and establishing a constitutional monarchy as early |
|
as the 19th century. We find a unique people, with a youth torn, |
|
in the internet age, between respect for customs and the |
|
yearning for something different.[/quote] |
