The 20th century started with major environmental concerns for the small island-nation of about 1.26 million people and in 2017, the economy of the country was beset by major deficits, corruption, drug trafficking and other evils, although the country had reached the status of an upper middle income country according to the World Bank from the turn of the 20th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of "A New Comprehensive History of Mauritius" starts following the birth of the modern Mauritian Parliament in 1885-1886 and ends with year 2017 when Mauritius faced the new, daunting challenges of the 21st century to its democratic system and with regard with widespread corruption and environmental threats, as well as acute drug consumption and trafficking issues. From the second half of the 20th century, however, Mauritius progressed from dire poverty to the status of an upper middle income country and achieved an economic miracle in the 1980s and the construction of a highly successful Cybercity in the first decade of the 21st century. Sydney Selvon unveils even the hidden truths of the history of the Mauritian nation which is not just one of plush, world-class holiday resorts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of Sydney Selvon's "A New Comprehensive History of Mauritius" takes the reader on an epic journey covering the historical evolution of the island-nation from the time its first modern Parliament was created in 1886-87 to date. No other book in the 21st century gives such a detailed account of the island's history and its environmental evolution, plus historical accounts and photograhic documents of the Outer Islands of Mauritius. The two volumes reveal numerous historical truths, many of which, in modern times, were, according to the author, concealed by the country's political leadership as was the case regarding the Chagos/Diego Garcia affair.

Download or read book A New Comprehensive History of Mauritius written by Sydney Selvon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-07 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TRUE HISTORY OF MAURITIUS A revolutionary work that breaks free from the ethnocentric straightjacket that has too long characterized Mauritian historiography and which was condemned in 2011 by the Justice and Peace Commission. Several new findings, most of them surprising, are included in the book. Whites and non-Whites took part in the crimes of slavery and the indenture system and benefited from profits generated by the human trade involved under those systems of cheap labour. The common view of history is one that has been distorted over several decades and is responsible for the vicious modern games of ethnic politics that are counterproductive to the quest of national unity in the former colonies. Sydney Selvon, professional editor, researcher and former ambassador tells a history where people of all ethnic origins were on both sides of the class divide that has marked Mauritian history from 1638 to date. He teaches the people that their history and diverse cultures can unite them more as a nation than it divides them. His many new findings indicate that there was a free multiethnic population before French colonisation. A strikingly beautiful Malagasy Queen, a metis, abandoned her kingdom to live in Mauritius with her entire court and her slaves as a free and very rich woman... And many more

Book Synopsis The Mauritian Paradox by : Ramola Ramtohul
Download or read book The Mauritian Paradox written by Ramola Ramtohul and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking of Mauritius as an economic miracle has become a clich, and with good reason: Its development since Independence in 1968 can easily be narrated as a rags-to-riches story. In addition, it is a stable democracy capable of containing the conflict potential inherent in its complex ethnic and religious demography. This book brings together some of the finest scholarship, domestic as well as foreign, on contemporary Mauritius, offering perspectives from constitutional law, cultural studies, sociology, archaeology, economics, social anthropology and more. While celebrating the indisputable, and impressive, achievements of the Mauritian nation on its fiftieth birthday, this book is far from toothless. Looking back inevitably implies looking ahead, and in order to do so, critical self-scrutiny is essential, to be able to learn from the mistakes of the past. The contributors raise fundamental questions concerning a broad range of issues, from the dilemmas of multiculturalism to the marginal role of women in public life, from the question of constitutional reform and the continued problem of corruption to the slow destruction of Mauritius joy and pride, namely the beauty and purity of its natural scenery. Taking stock of the first fifty years, this book also looks ahead to the next fifty years, giving some cues as to where Mauritius can and should aim in the next decades.
Download or read book The Vortex written by Frank Uekötter and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental challenges are defining the twenty-first century. To fully understand ongoing debates about our current crises—climate change, loss of biological diversity, pollution, extinction, resource woes—means revisiting their origins, in all their complexity. With this ambitious, highly original contribution to the environmental history of global modernity, Frank Uekötter considers the many ways humans have had an impact on their physical environment throughout history. Ours is not a one-way trajectory to sudden collapse, he argues, but rather death by a thousand cuts. The many paths we’ve forged to arrive in our current predicament, from agriculture to industry to infrastructure, must be considered collectively if we are to stay afloat in what Uekötter describes as a vortex: a powerful metaphor for the flow of history, capturing the momentum and the many crosscurrents that swept people and environments along. His book invites us to look at environmental challenges from multiple perspectives, including all the twists and turns that have helped to create the mess we find ourselves in. Uekötter has written a world history for an age where things are falling apart: where we know what lies ahead and are equipped with the right tools—technological and otherwise—and plenty of experience to deal with environmental challenges, but somehow fail to get our affairs in order.

Book Synopsis Creating the Creole Island by : Megan Vaughan
Download or read book Creating the Creole Island written by Megan Vaughan and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Mauritius lies in the middle of the Indian Ocean, about 550 miles east of Madagascar. Uninhabited until the arrival of colonists in the late sixteenth century, Mauritius was subsequently populated by many different peoples as successive waves of colonizers and slaves arrived at its shores. The French ruled the island from the early eighteenth century until the early nineteenth. Throughout the 1700s, ships brought men and women from France to build the colonial population and from Africa and India as slaves. In Creating the Creole Island, the distinguished historian Megan Vaughan traces the complex and contradictory social relations that developed on Mauritius under French colonial rule, paying particular attention to questions of subjectivity and agency. Combining archival research with an engaging literary style, Vaughan juxtaposes extensive analysis of court records with examinations of the logs of slave ships and of colonial correspondence and travel accounts. The result is a close reading of life on the island, power relations, colonialism, and the process of cultural creolization. Vaughan brings to light complexities of language, sexuality, and reproduction as well as the impact of the French Revolution. Illuminating a crucial period in the history of Mauritius, Creating the Creole Island is a major contribution to the historiography of slavery, colonialism, and creolization across the Indian Ocean.
