Download or read book A Concise History of Dutch Mauritius, 1598-1710 written by Perry J. Moree and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1998 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1598 a fleet of five East India ships from the Nether-lands landed on the uninhabited island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, which they claimed as a Dutch possession. Being rich in food and water and free of diseases, Mauritius became an important station for outward or homeward-bound ships of the Dutch East India Company, who built a fort, garrisoned the island, began cutting the island's ebony forests, and introduced slaves from Madagascar, some of whom succeeded in escaping Dutch rule and lived as refugees in the interior of the island. Even in the seventeenth century, Mauritius had a multiethnic population. This book describes the vicissitudes of the Dutch on Mauritius and examines the commanders of the island, from the successful Adriaen van der Stel to the despotic Isaac Lamotius, from the disastrous George Wreede to the diplomatic but harsh Roelof Diodati. Appendices list ships calling at Mauritius and the first foreign inhabitants of Mauritius.

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: This is the engrossing story of Mauritius, the exotic Indian Ocean island port of call at the heart of the fabled "Spice Route". Although first discovered and visited by the Arabs and the Portuguese, and subsequently colonised by the Dutch, the French and the English, it is the French influence that is most keenly felt in Mauritius today, thanks to France's nearly century-long rule over Mauritius from 1715 to 1810. Combining rich historical detail, rare archival documents, antique lithographs paintings, and portraits, and fascinating stories of well-known figures of the period - like the founder of the colony Governor Mahé de La Bourdonnais, the explorer and botanist Pierre Poivre, and the celebrated explorer Jean- François de Lapérouse - Mauritius on the Spice Route is an invitation to step back in time and discover the fascinating history of this exotic paradise.

Book excerpt: This is volume 2 of a three-part comprehensive history of Mauritius from prehistory to present times. Author Sydney Selvon, has added in this 2nd edition a history of private enterprise in Mauritius throughout the centuries and recalls the major role of private enterprise in the famous Mauritius Economic Miracle in the 1970s, another one that started with the radical 1982-83 budgetary reform and the formidable success of the setting up of a financial centre and the Ebene Cybercity during the first five years of the 21st century, from 2000 to 2005, a boost to IT industries and job creation. 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.

Download or read book Transition from Slavery in Zanzibar and Mauritius written by Teelock, Vijayalakshmi and published by CODESRIA. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comparative history of slavery and the transition from slavery to free labour in Zanzibar and Mauritius, within the context of a wider comparative study of the subject in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Both countries are islands, with roughly the same size of area and populations, a common colonial history, and both are multicultural societies. However, despite inhabiting and using the same oceanic space, there are differences in experiences and structures which deserve to be explored. In the nineteenth century, two types of slave systems developed on the islands – while Zanzibar represented a variant of an Indian Ocean slave system, Mauritius represented a variant of the Atlantic system – yet both flourished when the world was already under the hegemony of the global capitalist mode of production. This comparison, therefore, has to be seen in the context of their specific historical conjunctures and the types of slave systems in the overall theoretical conception of modes of production within which they manifested themselves, a concept that has become unfashionable but which is still essential. The starting point of many such efforts to compare slave systems has naturally been the much-studied slavery in the Atlantic region which has been used to provide a paradigm with which to study any type of slavery anywhere in the world. However, while Mauritian slavery was 100 per cent colonial slavery, slavery in Zanzibar has been described as ‘Islamic slavery’. Both established plantation economies, although with different products, Zanzibar with cloves and Mauritius with sugar, and in both cases, the slaves faced a potential conflictual situation between former masters and slaves in the post-emancipation period.

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.
