  • 1: Manumission and Freedom in Early British Mauritius, 1811–1839
    4 ‘Fit for Freedom’1: Manumission and Freedom in Early British Mauritius, 1811–1839 Satyendra Peerthum …it was often possible for the slave [and apprentice], by great perseverance and labour to purchase his own freedom and, this being accomplished the freedom of those dear to him.2 The slaves, however, were not prepared to wait for freedom to come to them as a dispensation from above….They were fully impressed with the belief that they were entitled to their freedom and that the cause they had embraced was just and in vindication of their own rights.3 Introduction The objective of this chapter is to explore the experience of slaves during the Slave Amelioration Period and of apprentices during the Apprenticeship era in Mauritius. It focuses on slaves’ and apprentices’ attempts to free themselves through manumission, their motives and the methods used to achieve this between 1829 and 1839. The aim is to show that slaves did not wait for the official abolition of slavery by the British government to attempt to change their servile status and instead used innovative attempts to improve their lives. As stated by Saunders for South Africa: Historians of slavery…may lay too great a stress on the great day of freedom…or the more important day four years later. Freedom had come to many individuals long before either of those dates … Individually and collectively they moved from effective slavery to ‘freedom’ before emancipation day dawned for the slaves.4 The slaves’ and apprentices’ attempts at manumission were interpreted in a number of ways by colonial officials and local colonists, and thus this chapter will 70 Transition from Slavery in Zanzibar and Mauritius also seek to extract all available information from sources to try to understand the world view of the slaves as this is rarely seen or stated explicitly in the sources.

  • Black River Gorges National Park Management Plan 2018 - 2022
    ~ ~ ~ ~ BLACK RIVER GORGES NATIONAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN 2018 - 2022 ~ ~ ~ ~ Message by the Honourable Mahen Kumar Seeruttun, Minister of Agro- Industry and Food Security The Black River Gorges National Park was proclaimed in 1994 under section 11 of the Wildlife and National Parks Act of 1993. Over the last two decades the Park has become a bastion of biodiversity and other natural values in a fast-developing Mauritius, where our wild places have become scarcer and more valuable than ever before. The Black River Gorges National Park is a critical hub of our country’s terrestrial ecological infrastructure, acting as a natural reservoir of our freshwater as well as a major depository of our biological diversity. To lose this Park would be unthinkable, and to fail to look after it properly would be an injustice inflicted upon present and future generations alike. The Indian Ocean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot can be likened to a string of pearls displaying irreplaceable and unique biodiversity. In this treasure trove of biodiversity, Mauritius occupies a prominent place. A significant portion of our Island’s unique biodiversity is contained in the Black River Gorges National Park, together with certain islet reserves or parks. Protecting this biodiversity together with the ecological landscapes that are unique to our island is the focus of the Black River Gorges National Park Management Plan. In developing this Plan, Government together with all stakeholders fleshed out the common goals embedded in the Vision for the Black River Gorges National Park. It is my hope that this Park will become an outstanding example of collaboration between Government and the people to preserve what belongs to us as a nation.

  • 'Making a Life of Their Own'1: Ex-Apprentices in Early Post
    6 ‘Making a Life of their Own’1: Ex-apprentices in Early Post-emancipation Period, 1839–1872 Satyendra Peerthum You ask me…why I will not work in that field, I will tell you: In that field my father worked as a slave, and was lashed as a slave, and do you think that I would work upon a spot that I cannot think of without pain?2 There can be no doubt of the fact that the ex-apprentices withdrew from cane cultivation more suddenly and entirely in Mauritius than in any of the West In- dian colonies.3 From what had been gauged of slave behaviour between 1815 and 1835, it would seem that the idea of freedom in the slaves’ mind was intimately linked to the idea of independence. The post-emancipation events and decisions of the ex-slaves also seem to bear out this view.4 Introduction The objective of this chapter is to analyse the exodus of the ex-apprentices from the sugar estates, their desire to obtain land, the petit morcellement movement (or sub- divisions of land which were sold to the ex-apprentices), and the rise of a Mauritian ex-apprentice peasantry or small landowners during the early post-emancipation period. It looks at the emergence of an important group of sharecroppers or metayers and squatters from within the island’s ex-apprentice community between 1839 and 1872. It explores the worldview and ethos of the ex-apprentices as they struggled to make their concept of freedom a reality which entailed controlling their labour, mobility in the colony, rejection of estate labour, owning their own plot of land and 110 Transition from Slavery in Zanzibar and Mauritius working their land at their own pace.

  • Mauritius 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    MAURITIUS 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution prohibits discrimination based on creed and provides for religious freedom, including the right of individuals to change, manifest, and propagate their religious beliefs. The government grants subsidies to six religious groups, including Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Seventh-day Adventists, Hindus, and Muslims, based on their relative numbers in the population. Other groups must register with the government to obtain tax-exempt status but receive no subsidies. Christians and Muslims stated they were underrepresented in the civil service and government, including at the highest levels. The government limited the number of foreign missionaries allowed to work in the country. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims continued; however, unlike in previous years, there were no reports of interreligious violence. On November 20, unknown individuals vandalized two mosques and a predominantly Muslim cemetery in the Savanne District. On December 30, unknown individuals vandalized a Tamil temple in Port Louis. There were no developments in the September 2015 case in which two Muslim men vandalized a Hindu temple, which was followed by five Hindu men vandalizing a mosque in the south of the island. The Council of Religions, a local organization composed of representatives from 18 different faiths and denominations, hosted regular religious ceremonies and celebrations to foster mutual understanding and enhance interfaith collaboration among faith communities. The embassy promoted religious tolerance and understanding through engagement with government officials and with religious leaders. The Charge d’Affaires hosted an iftar with Muslim civil society and religious leaders to highlight religious tolerance and emphasize ways to continue to foster interreligious tolerance.
