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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining Mauritius and the Indian Ocean, this unique synthesis of imperial and naval/military history, reveals the depths of colonial involvement in the Second World War and the role of colonies in British strategic planning from the eighteenth century. In the century of total war, the British Empire was fully mobilized. The Mauritian home front became regimented, troops were recruited for service overseas, the Eastern fleet guarded the Indian Ocean, and Mauritius became a base for SOE operations and intelligence-gathering for Bletchley.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TRUE HISTORY OF MAURITIUS. A revolutionary work that breaks free from the ethnocentric straightjacket thathas too long characterized Mauritian historiography and which was condemned in 2011 by the Justice and Peace Commission. The common view of the national history of Mauritius is one that has been distorted over several decades and is responsible for the games of ethnic politics that are counterproductive to the still ongoing efforts at national unity. The book is also a very entertaining way of re-writing the national history of the island-nation.

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.

Book excerpt: How does one explain the poverty and marginalization of a group that lives in a remarkably successful economy and peaceful society? A native anthropologist, the author provides critical insight into the dynamics of contemporary Mauritian society. In her meticulously researched study of ethnic, gender and racial discrimination in Mauritius, she addresses debates carried out in many developing societies on subaltern identities, ethnicity, poverty and social injustice. The book therefore also offers important empirical material for scholars interested in the wider Indian Ocean region and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Per the UK publisher William Collins's promotional copy: "There is a quarter of this planet which is often forgotten in the histories that are told in the West. This quarter is an oceanic one, pulsating with winds and waves, tides and coastlines, islands and beaches. The Indian and Pacific Oceans constitute that forgotten quarter, brought together here for the first time in a sustained work of history." More specifically, Sivasundaram's aim in this book is to revisit the Age of Revolutions and Empire from the perspective of the Global South. Waves Across the South ranges from the Arabian Sea across the Indian Ocean to the Bay of Bengal, and onward to the South Pacific and Australia's Tasman Sea. As the Western empires (Dutch, French, but especially British) reached across these vast regions, echoes of the European revolutions rippled through them and encountered a host of indigenous political developments. Sivasundaram also opens the door to new and necessary conversations about environmental history in addition to the consequences of historical violence, the extraction of resources, and the indigenous futures that Western imperialism cut short"--

Download or read book The Franco-Mauritian Elite written by Tijo Salverda and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mauritian independence in 1968 marked the end of a regime favorable to the Franco-Mauritians, the island’s white colonial elite. Now, in postcolonial Mauritius, this group is faced with a much more diverse power constellation and often feels in competition with others vying for their privileges. Though this is a clear departure from the colonial heydays, Franco-Mauritians have been able to continue their elite position into the early twenty-first century. This book focuses on the power of white elites still lingering on in postcolonial realities, and with regards to elites and power in general, addresses anew how an elite group aims to prolong its position over time.
