Exposing the extremes of life in a developing country, this novel of doomed love shows how poverty, class divisions, and ramshackle housing become even harder to bear when luxurious resorts and rich tourists arrive on the scene. Growing up on the island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean, lonely young Maya hopes that someday she might escape her poverty and find happiness in the desirable housing developments near the new hotels. When she falls in love with a man from a well-to-do family, she believes that her dream is within reach, but her hopes are shattered when her lover is too weak to defy his family and agrees to an arranged marriage to a woman from his own caste.

"Je me suis redressée brusquement et une goutte de sueur s'est échappée derrière mon oreille. Elle a suivi un moment la ligne de ma mâchoire, a glissé le long de mon cou pour trouver son chemin entre mes seins. Aujourd'hui encore, je la sens, cette trace première qui m'a marquée jusqu'au creux de mon ventre. Je regardais en silence ce garçon qui se tenait devant moi et tout ce que je sentais, c'était cette goutte de sel qui me caressait l'oreille, la mâchoire, le cou, la peau tendue entre les seins pour mourir dans mon nombril. J'ai eu l'impression stupide et pourtant si agréable que c'était son doigt qui descendait lentement, lentement..." Maya a dix-neuf ans. Elle vit à Blue Bay, un village bordé d'un côté par l'océan, de l'autre par un hôtel de luxe. Entre mer et soleil, images immaculées pour touristes et venelles crasseuses pour indigènes, elle poursuit l'amour.

" J'ai alors giflé son visage d'ange. Si j'avais eu une pierre, un bâton, n'importe quoi, je l'aurais massacré jusqu'à ce qu'il ne soit qu'une bouillie de chair, je crois. Mais je n'avais que mes mains pour dire ma colère et mes yeux pour fusiller. Il ne l'a pas vue venir cette gifle et sa tête s'est retournée comme celle d'une marionnette et il a reculé. J'ai senti la brûlure sur ma paume et j'ai abattu ma main encore, mais cette fois, il a esquivé. J'ai bondi sur lui. Je me rappelle que mon corps avait soudain pris la souplesse d'un félin, que je criais comme un animal parce qu'une main froide me broyait le cœur jusqu'à ce qu'il explose. Après, je ne sais plus très bien. J'ai comme ça, des accès de rage où le sang m'aveugle et ce bruit là, qui tonne dans ma tête. Le soleil bouge, je suis avec lui sous le banian géant et nous sommes assis sur des racines. Je n'ai plus chaud, je ne suis plus en colère... Il commence à parler tout bas. Tellement bas que sa voix couvre à peine le flux indolent des vagues et je dois m'approcher pour entendre. Il hausse les épaules de temps en temps, secoue la tête. Ses mains sont serrées l'une contre l'autre... Maya, commence-t-il, Maya, mon amour... " Entre mer et soleil, images immaculées pour touristes et venelles crasseuses pour indigènes, entre raison et folie, Maya, dix-neuf ans, poursuit l'amour. Elle vit à Blue Bay, village pauvre bordé d'un côté par l'océan et de l'autre par un hôtel de grand luxe. Quand son amour lui échappera, elle ira au bout de son cœur, de son corps et de son pays.

This book analyses how the idea – or the problem - of belonging is articulated in a range of contemporary francophone Mauritian novels. Waters explores how forms of affective belonging intersect with the exclusionary ‘politics of belonging’ in novels by Nathacha Appanah, Ananda Devi, Shenaz Patel, Bertrand de Robillard, Amal Sewtohul and Carl de Souza.

The city has traditionally been configured as a fundamentally masculine space. This collection of essays seeks to question many of the idées reçues surrounding women’s ongoing association with the private, the domestic and the rural. Covering a selection of films, journals and novels from the French medieval period to the Franco-Algerian present, it challenges the traditionally gendered dichotomisation of the masculine public and feminine private upon which so much of French and European literature and culture is predicated. Is the urban flâneur a quintessentially male phenomenon, or can there exist a true flâneuse as active agent, expressing the confidence and pleasure of a woman moving freely in the urban environment? Women and the City in French Literature and Culture seeks to locate exactly where women are heading – both individually and collectively – in their relationships to the urban environment; by so doing, it nuances the conventional binaristic perception of women and the city in an endeavour to redirect future research in women’s studies towards more interesting and representative urban destinations.

This much-needed guide to translated literature offers readers the opportunity to hear from, learn about, and perhaps better understand our shrinking world from the perspective of insiders from many cultures and traditions. In a globalized world, knowledge about non-North American societies and cultures is a must. Contemporary World Fiction: A Guide to Literature in Translation provides an overview of the tremendous range and scope of translated world fiction available in English. In so doing, it will help readers get a sense of the vast world beyond North America that is conveyed by fiction titles from dozens of countries and language traditions. Within the guide, approximately 1,000 contemporary non-English-language fiction titles are fully annotated and thousands of others are listed. Organization is primarily by language, as language often reflects cultural cohesion better than national borders or geographies, but also by country and culture. In addition to contemporary titles, each chapter features a brief overview of earlier translated fiction from the group. The guide also provides in-depth bibliographic essays for each chapter that will enable librarians and library users to further explore the literature of numerous languages and cultural traditions.

Big business, financial institutions, and capitalist powers have wreaked much havoc on the Third World in the name of development. This book re-imagines development through a careful and imaginative exploration of some of the many ways that culture – in the broadest sense of lived experience and its representation – can recenter resistance, suggest alternative models, and advance critiques of development as it is currently practiced. The diverse group of scholars and activists who contribute chapters to the volume engage with the puzzle of how best to conceptualize an alternative development that improves the living conditions of women and men in different parts of the world and simultaneously demands solutions that focus on the integration of gender, diversity, and development with the realities of people’s lives.
