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.

For the past two decades Mauritians have focused on their remarkably successful economy and tended to ignore the poverty and marginalisation of a significant minority in their country. This book examines this situation among the Creoles, descendents of African and Malagasy slaves who live in Mauritius, an Indian Ocean island that has experienced three centuries of subsequent colonization by the Dutch, the French and the English. The author investigates le Malaise Crole, a socio-cultural phenomenon said to affect the progress and well being of Creoles in the society. The discussion of le Malaise Crole unravels a tragedy and cultural paradox for Mauritians have all essentially become social and biological hybrids but continue to perceive and treat their 'roots'as a source of power, purity and identity. In the quest for power and social order, dominant groups in the society promote a 'roots'discourse that has contributed to a rigid ethnic hierarchy. As slave descendants, Creoles experience problems identifying and confirming their 'roots.'Dominant and negative perceptions of slavery, blackness and hybridity also result in their of experience racial discrimination and economic marginalisation. To culturally survive in the new millennium Creoles are compelled to foster a roots discourse of their own for without 'roots'they are treated as a people who lack identity and power. Today Creoles are commonly stereotyped as lazy, spendthrift and hedonistic. The author's empirical research in five locations challenges these stereotypes and indicates how socio-economic and spatial factors diversify Creole identity. She advances several interpretations of le malaise Crole and investigates whatkind of phenomenon this is, arguing that although whiteness is highly valued in Mauritius, global values focusing on hybridity and power in blackness are beginning to influence Creole identity and to empower this ethnic group.

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.

This edited collection considers the significance of Creole cultures within current, changing global contexts. With a particular focus on post-colonial Small Island Developing States, it brings together perspectives from academics, policy makers and practitioners including those based in Dominica, St Lucia, Seychelles and Mauritius. Together they provide a rich exploration of issues that arise in relation to safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage that sustains Creole identities. Commencing with considerations of the UNESCO (2003) Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), the collection then presents case studies from the Seychelles, Mauritius, St. Lucia and Dominica. These attest to the many and different ways through which Creole cultural practices remain significant to the lived experiences of Creole communities. These chapters exemplify how through activities such as storytelling, singing, dancing, making artworks and the alternative economic practice of koudmen, Creole peoples sustain cultural identities that draw strength from their traditions. Yet there is also recognition of the continual struggle to sustain Creole cultural practices in the face of global economic and political pressures and related uncertainties. This global economic landscape also has an impact upon how Creole cultures are presented to tourists and hence upon the ways in which cultural practices are supported.
