Volume 2 of "A New Comprehensive History of Mauritius" starts following the birth of the modern Mauritian Parliament in 1885-1886 and ends with year 2017 when Mauritius faced the new, daunting challenges of the 21st century to its democratic system and with regard with widespread corruption and environmental threats, as well as acute drug consumption and trafficking issues. 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.

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.
