From the second half of the 20th century, however, Mauritius progressed from dire poverty to the status of an upper middle income country and achieved an economic miracle in the 1980s and the construction of a highly successful Cybercity in the first decade of the 21st century. Sydney Selvon unveils even the hidden truths of the history of the Mauritian nation which is not just one of plush, world-class holiday resorts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A TRUE HISTORY OF MAURITIUS. A revolutionary work that breaks free from the ethnocentric straightjacket thathas too long characterized Mauritian historiography and which was condemned in 2011 by the Justice and Peace Commission. The common view of the national history of Mauritius is one that has been distorted over several decades and is responsible for the games of ethnic politics that are counterproductive to the still ongoing efforts at national unity. The book is also a very entertaining way of re-writing the national history of the island-nation.

The two volumes reveal numerous historical truths, many of which, in modern times, were, according to the author, concealed by the country's political leadership as was the case regarding the Chagos/Diego Garcia affair.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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
