Synopsis "A New Comprehensive History of Mauritius Volume 1: From Prehistory to the Birth of Parliament in 1886 "

A TRUE HISTORY OF MAURITIUS A revolutionary work that breaks free from the ethnocentric straightjacket that has too long characterized Mauritian historiography and which was condemned in 2011 by the Justice and Peace Commission. Several new findings, most of them surprising, are included in the book. Whites and non-Whites took part in the crimes of slavery and the indenture system and benefited from profits generated by the human trade involved under those systems of cheap labour. The common view of history is one that has been distorted over several decades and is responsible for the vicious modern games of ethnic politics that are counterproductive to the quest of national unity in the former colonies. Sydney Selvon, professional editor, researcher and former ambassador tells a history where people of all ethnic origins were on both sides of the class divide that has marked Mauritian history from 1638 to date. He teaches the people that their history and diverse cultures can unite them more as a nation than it divides them. His many new findings indicate that there was a free multiethnic population before French colonisation. A strikingly beautiful Malagasy Queen, a metis, abandoned her kingdom to live in Mauritius with her entire court and her slaves as a free and very rich woman... And many more
