  • Mauritian Independence
    MAURITIUS INDEPENDENCE: Marginalism and political control (part 2) Article paru dans Le Mauricien | 4 mars, 2012 - 15:00 Mauritius and its dependencies were, as a whole, a genesis of colonialism, a purely novel French and predominantly British creation. In theory, a return of power to a non-existent indigenous society (decolonization) does not arise. There would simply be a transfer of power in 1968. Despite the terms of the Capitulation Treaty of 1810, which allowed the conquered inhabitants to preserve their property (Article 7) and allowed them to conserve their religion, laws and customs (Article 8), there was a lingering mutual distrust between them and the British. The Franco-Mauritians and elite Creoles, staunch Catholics, regarded the British as foreigners, and disliked Anglicanism, English language and British culture. Most British Governors, in their despatches, suspected the loyalty of Franco-Mauritians and elite Creoles to the British Crown. But a symbiotic relationship developed between them arising out of economic needs. The Franco-Mauritians needed to maintain their established plantation economy with a constant supply of coerced labour. The British needed money-tax derive from the plantation economy which would provide revenue to administer the island and maintain law and order. A diarchy evolved : the Franco-Mauritians controlled the economy, and the British controlled the policy and the administration. However, the Mauritius sugar-based economy created institutional structures and a socio-economic hierarchy. At the top were the Franco-Mauritians and elite Creoles, quite happy with their sugar estates, factories and lucrative commercial concerns. They were culturally content as long as Britain did not interfere with their sentimental attachment with France.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Moral Education Has
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Moral education has always been a perennial aim of education. The function of schools, it was believed, was not only to make people smart but also to make them good. However, with industrialization, the moral aim of education receded to the background as the demands of capitalist markets centered mainly around the provision of skilled manpower, culturally ready to integrate into labour markets. The return of moral education to the limelight is attributable to the fact that modern societies increasingly have to deal with disturbing trends both within schools, and in the wider society. Mounting discipline problems culminating in violent outbursts, alarming rates of teenage pregnancy and drug abuse are phenomena often explained by the breakdown of the family or are generally situated in the aftermath of industrialization. Many have also located the dysfunction of the school as one contributing to the degeneration of social mores. Prime among these dysfunctions is the fact that our schools are not adequately providing for one important aspect of child and adolescent development, that is, moral education. Those who believe that we need to provide for some form of moral education in our curriculum are not a homogeneous group. Amongst them we find, at one extreme, the traditionalist who argues that we should return to the good old ways of teaching values through religious literature or some other relevant material of universal significance. At the other extreme, some argue that, rather than teach values, adults have to model 1 desirable behaviour and the school’s hidden curriculum must be used to help children become morally autonomous adults.

  • Negotiating Race, Ethnicity and Nation: Diasporic
    NEGOTIATING RACE, ETHNICITY AND NATION: DIASPORIC MULTICULTURALISM AND THE POLITICS OF LANGUAGE IN MAURITIUS by Eleanor Nicole Thornton A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February 2017 i Abstract This dissertation examines the tension between diaspora and nativity in the construction of multiculturalism in Mauritius, a plural, postcolonial society that showcases a variety of ethnic groups that are officially recognized in the Constitution, including Mauritians of Hindu, Muslim and Chinese descent. Yet a fourth group—Afro-Mauritians, or Creoles—are singly designated as a residual category unrecognized by the state. Although Creoles represent nearly a third of the population, their decades-long struggle for recognition has been consistently met with resistance. Creoles are also the most impoverished group and are largely marginalized from civil society and the political arena. What explains the lack of recognition of the Creole community in multicultural policy? While scholars of multiculturalism in the West point to the continued ethnonationalism of Western countries as barriers to immigrant incorporation (Modood, 2013; Kymlicka, 1996), scholarship exploring multiculturalism and racial politics in the Americas highlights the relationship between race and ethnicity as two distinct categories that work differently for the populations in which they are ascribed, limiting the benefits of multiculturalism for racialized groups (Paschel, 2013; Wade, 2010; Hattam, 2007; Hooker, 2005). My dissertation builds on these theories by analyzing both national and transnational processes in the formation of multiculturalism—an approach that highlights the role of diasporic politics in the negotiation of national belonging.
