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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • A sweeping debut novel that explores the intimate struggle for independence and success of a young descendant of Indian indentured laborers in Mauritius, a small multiracial island in the Indian Ocean. "The beauty of Busjeet's splendid, often breathtaking book is, like the best stories of journeys to young adulthood, the precious and well-observed and heartbreaking details of day-to-day life." --Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Known World In the 1950s, Vishnu Bhushan is a young boy yet to learn the truth beyond the rumors of his family's fractured histories--an alliance, as his mother says, of two bankrupt families. In evocative chapters, the first two decades of Vishnu's life in Mauritius unfolds with heart wrenching closeness as he battles to experience the world beyond, and the cultural, political, and familial turmoil that hold on to him. Through gorgeous and precise language, Silent Winds, Dry Seas conjures the spirit and rich life of Mauritius, even as its diverse peoples live under colonial rule. Weaving the soaring hopes, fierce love, and heart-breaking tragedies of Vishnu's proud Mauritian family together with his country's turbulent path to gain independence, Busjeet masterfully evokes the epic sweep of history in the intimate moments of a boy's life. Silent Winds, Dry Seas is a poetic, powerful, and universal novel of identity and place, of the legacies of colonialism, of tradition, modernity, and emigration, and of what a family will sacrifice for its children to thrive.
