Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Discover the extraordinary story of Reunion, a volcanic island born from fiery eruptions in the Indian Ocean that evolved into a vibrant crossroads of continents. From its silent beginnings as a pristine sanctuary of endemic flora and fauna, you will follow the first fleeting encounters of Arab…traders and Portuguese explorers, and then witness the dramatic arrival of French settlers who transformed an uninhabited rock into a colony driven by coffee and later sugar. Each chapter reveals how geography, ambition, and relentless human movement forged a society unlike any other.Delve into the painful yet pivotal era of slavery that powered the island's early prosperity, and learn about the courageous maroons who fled to the island's rugged cirques to build free communities in the highlands. The narrative continues through the tumultuous tides of the French Revolution, the brief British interlude that sparked the rise of sugarcane, and the seismic 1848 emancipation that ushered in a new age of freedom-and the complex systems of indentured labor that followed, bringing workers from India, China, and Africa whose legacies still shape Reunion today.Experience the birth of a true Creole culture as languages, religions, music, and cuisine blended across centuries, creating the lively sounds of Maloya and Sega, the rich tapestry of religious syncretism, and the flavorful cari that tells a story of survival and creativity. You will also explore the island's twentieth-century trials-from the sacrifices of its sons in two World Wars and the difficult Vichy years, to the landmark 1946 departmentalization that promised equality, the controversial Debre era, and the social unrest that challenged the promise of prosperity.Finally, step into contemporary Reunion, where you will confront the striking contrasts of a modern French department grappling with unemployment, inequality, and globalization, while simultaneously celebrating its UNESCO-listed natural wonders, the active Piton de la Fournaise, and a thriving cultural revival that asserts a plural identity rooted in metissage. This history is not just a chronicle of dates and events; it is an invitation to understand how a small volcanic island became a mirror of global forces-colonialism, slavery, resistance, migration, and the ongoing search for self-determination-offering readers a deep, nuanced perspective on what it means to be Reunionese in the twenty-first century. Explore Reunion's volcanic origins, colonial past, slavery emancipation, and vibrant Creole culture in this comprehensive history of the Indian Ocean island. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Discover the remarkable journey of Seychelles from a pristine, uninhabited archipelago to a vibrant Creole nation in this comprehensive history. You will explore the islands' ancient geological origins, learning how continental granite fragments and coral atolls formed a unique sanctuary for gia…nt tortoises, the legendary Coco de Mer, and endemic birds found nowhere else on Earth. The narrative then follows the first human encounters-from fleeting Arab whispers and Portuguese sightings to the daring landings of English sailors who described an "earthly paradise" of fearless wildlife and abundant resources. Delve into the tumultuous eras that shaped Seychelles' destiny, including the age of pirates who used hidden coves as their bases, the French attempt to break the Dutch spice monopoly through clandestine plantations and the ill-fated first settlement on Ste. Anne, and the strategic chessboard of the Napoleonic Wars that saw the islands change hands without a single shot fired. You will witness the profound social upheaval caused by the abolition of slavery, the arrival of Liberated Africans rescued from slave ships, and the economic shift from cotton to coconuts and vanilla that built the plantation economy and created a new Creole society rooted in resilience and self-sufficiency. Follow the political evolution from a quiet dependency of Mauritius to a Crown Colony with its own Legislative Council, through the sacrifices of the Seychelles Carrier Corps in World War I and the vital role of the islands as a seaplane base and Pioneer Corps training ground in World War II. Experience the post-war push for autonomy, the rise of rival parties led by James Mancham and France-Albert Rene, the dramatic path to independence, the 1977 coup that ushered in a socialist one-party state, and the courageous return to multi-party democracy in 1993 that restored political pluralism and set the stage for modern governance. Finally, understand how Seychelles transformed its economy in the late twentieth century, turning its breathtaking natural beauty and rich tuna grounds into the twin pillars of high-end tourism and industrial fisheries, while pioneering innovative conservation efforts such as debt-for-nature swaps, the world's first sovereign Blue Bond, and expansive marine protected areas that embody the Blue Economy. You will finish with a portrait of twenty-first-century Seychelles-its Creole identity forged from French, African, and Asian influences, its challenges of climate change, economic vulnerability, and social change, and its enduring spirit as a small nation that punches far above its weight on the world stage. This book offers readers a deep, engaging, and balanced insight into the forces that have created the Seychelles we know today. A comprehensive history of Seychelles tracing its geological origins, early Arab and Portuguese encounters, pirate era, French settlement, abolition of slavery, plantation economy, and evolution into a vibrant Creole nation.
