  • A Rock, an Island: Exploring the Independence of African Island

    A Rock, an Island: Exploring the Independence of African Island

    A Rock, an Island: Exploring the independence of African Island Nations in the Indian Ocean By Alexander Rijpma Student Number: s1501143 E-mail: [email protected] Word Count: 13,848 s1501143 Introduction: A vast majority of African countries gained their independence in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, with over 30 countries gaining independence in quick succession in the six year period between 1956 and 1962 alone (Boddy-Evans, 2018). The year 1960 in particular was a significant landmark in the history of decolonisation as, in that year alone, 17 African countries gained independence (Talton, 2011). However, in the vast literature that exists detailing this period of decolonisation, very little is written about the African island nations of Mauritius and The Seychelles. These two nations lie very close together in the Indian Ocean, east of the African mainland, and have similar sizes and population densities, not to mention cultural similarities in their customs, language and ethnic makeup. Despite the fact that these countries are both included in the African Union, they are rarely treated in literature regarding African independence as being part of the decolonisation process at all. This is not, in itself, that surprising given that there is generally little academic literature to be found on states on the periphery like these, and this is particularly true for states on the periphery of the African continent. That being said, it is important that we attempt to curb this (lack of) practice by shifting our attention (and our research) to countries like the Seychelles and Mauritius, that exist largely in the periphery.

    Cyclones and Societies in the Mascarene Islands 17Th-20Th Centuries

    American Journal of Climate Change, 2013, 2, 1-13 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ajcc.2013.21001 Published Online March 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ajcc) Cyclones and Societies in the Mascarene Islands 17th-20th Centuries Emmanuel Garnier1,2,3, Jérémy Desarthe3,4 1Churchill College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK 2Institut Universitaire de France, Paris, France 3Centre de Recherche d’Histoire Quantitative (UMR CNRS), University of Caen, Caen, France 4Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations, Sciences Po, Paris, France Email: [email protected] Received December 16, 2012; revised January 15, 2013; accepted January 22, 2013 ABSTRACT The recent IPCC-SREX report focuses on the impact of extreme weather events on societies and underlines the absence of reliable data to assert a solid link between them and the current global climate change. Thanks to the unpublished materials that are contained in historic archives, this article suggests studying the cyclones which affected the Mas- carene islands between 1654 and 2007 and which supply us with a catalog of hitherto unpublished events. Inspired by the Simpson-Saffir hurricanes Wind Scale, the research proposes a relative evaluation of the extremes of the region. It underlines the big fluctuations in the last three centuries and partially answers the current debate on the reliability of the data in relation to hurricanes and their link with the contemporary climate. The available archives show that this type of meteorological event has occurred frequently during the relevant historical period and that for that reason, has given rise to original strategies of adaptation on the part of the societies affected.
  • The Behaviour of the Mollucan Megapode, Eulipoa Wallacei Caves:Megapodidae) in Nesting Grounds

    The Behaviour of the Mollucan Megapode, Eulipoa Wallacei Caves:Megapodidae) in Nesting Grounds

    THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE MOLLUCAN MEGAPODE, EULIPOA WALLACEI CAVES:MEGAPODIDAE) IN NESTING GROUNDS by C.J. HEIJ ABSTRACT- The moluccan -megapode, Eulipoa wallacei is the only hole digging megapode in the island of Haruku. The birds lay eggs in a communal nesting ground exposed to the heat of the sun. The eggs collected between 1987 and 1995 showed an increase in number. The factors influencing the increase in number were not fully known, but it seems the social economic activities of the local peoples influenced the intensity of searching the eggs. There were also differences in number of eggs collected in wet and dry season. The birds lay eggs at the depth of 60-90 CIII in soil, the average eggs length 78.1 mm, average width 48.9 mm. The average soil temperature 27' - 35°C. The eggs in the incubation boxes resulted in 92.7% hatchlings, average incubation time 74.2 days, and the hatchlings found on the soil surface have an average weight of 57 gr. The behaviour of the bird in detail is indicated. INTRODUCTION Jacobs (1974) wrote that on January 4th, 1576, the priest Nicolau Nunes was wondering about the behaviour of the hatchlings of about a bush hen which digs a hole in the ground and laid an egg in it and filled it up, and remarked that the eggs as well as the birds were very tasty. In 1860, Gray made a description of the Megapode collected by Wallace in 1858 on the island of Halmahera, later named as Eulipoa wallacei, but the sex of the holotype was not mentional.
  • Le Voyage Vers Les Mascareignes

    Le Voyage Vers Les Mascareignes

    4 : Le voyage vers les Mascareignes. 4.1 : Les conditions de navigation : le vaisseau. Afin d'assurer la rentabilité du t ransport sur de longues distances vers l'Inde, il faut à la Compagnie des Indes disposer de bâtiments de 500 à 700 tonneaux, dont le tirant d'eau , ne dépassant pas 5 mètres, permette le franchissement du détroit de la Sonde et la navigation sur le Gange. I l lui faut aussi des vaisseaux construits pour affronter les fortes houles des mers australes et capables de porter des canons pour résister à d'éventuels abordages de forbans ou se défendre en période de guerres européennes. Pour assurer son rôle de compa gnie de commerce souveraine, la Compagnie fait construire ses navires selon une technique à la fois semblable à celle des vaisseaux de guerre : solide membrure de chêne, bordage de sapin, et à celle des navires de commerce : abaissement des parties saillan tes de l'étrave et de l'étambot pour permettre de donner la plus grande contenance possible à la cale, ce qui rapproche le bâtiment de la forme du parallélépipède rectangle. L’aménagement intérieur, cependant, diffère de celui des vaisseaux de guerre, en c e sens que, pour libérer l’espace de la cale, il n’y a pas ici de faux pont. Placés sous le premier pont, des barrots ou poutres assurent la cohésion du bâtiment . Tout ce qu’abrite le faux pont d’un vaisseau de guerre e st ici disposé dans l’entrepont qui , de ce fait , se trouve fort encombré. Dans ces conditions , l’artillerie est installée sur le premier pont et le pont supérieur.

  • Probing the Historical Sources of the Mauritian Miracle: Sugar Exporters and State Building in Colonial Mauritius Ryan Saylor∗

    Probing the Historical Sources of the Mauritian Miracle: Sugar Exporters and State Building in Colonial Mauritius Ryan Saylor∗

    Review of African Political Economy Vol. 39, No. 133, September 2012, 465–478 Probing the historical sources of the Mauritian miracle: sugar exporters and state building in colonial Mauritius Ryan Saylor∗ Department of Political Science, University of Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States Scholars increasingly agree that the ‘Mauritian Miracle’ was enabled by the country’s significant level of state capacity. This article probes Mauritius’s state-building past to identify the early sources of Mauritian state capacity. Specifically, I find that the close collaboration between the island’s export-oriented sugar planters, known as the Franco-Mauritians, and colonial officials accounts for the growth of Mauritian state capacity during the nineteenth century. Following the island’s first major commodity boom, in 1825, sugar planters pressed colonial officials to ‘regulate’ the island’s labour supply, improve its transportation infrastructure, and undertake research and development initiatives. These efforts collectively promoted the growth of state capacity and laid the groundwork for the country’s relatively capable state. The influence of Mauritius’s export-oriented coalition on state building may shed light on the country’s comparative success to other African countries, where export-oriented coalitions have been rare both historically and in the contemporary era. Keywords: Mauritius; sugar exports; commodity booms; coalitions; state building; political development [Sonder les sources historiques du miracle mauricien: les exportateurs de sucre et la construction des baˆtiments dans les colonies de l’Etat de l’ıˆle Maurice.] De plus en plus, les chercheurs s’accordent a` dire que le « miracle mauricien » a e´te´ active´ par le niveau important du pays par sa capacite´ d’E´ tat.
