Meke, a traditional rhythmic dance accompanied by singing, signifies an important piece of identity for Fijians. Evadne Kelly performs close readings of the dance in relation to an evolving landscape, following the postcolonial reclamation that provided dancers with political agency and a strong sense of community.
