The islands of Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, the Comoros, and the Seychelles form a region that has a particular cultural identity because of the varied mixture of populations that have settled there and the dominant influence of French colonialism. This survey concentrates on the period since the Second World War, when most of the islands achieved independence, except for Reunion and Mayotte, which maintain a regional status within the French Republic. The postcolonial approach suggests certain recurrent themes and preoccupations of the islands' cultures and an appropriate way to define their recent cultural production, while taking account of the burden of their colonial past. The rich cocktail of cultural and linguistic influences surveyed is situated in relation to the contemporary political and social context of the islands and their marginal status within the global economy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 239mmItem Length: 161mmItem Width: 22mmItem Weight: 481gAuthor: Peter HawkinsGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial FranceRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
