Creating the Creole Island: Slavery in Eighteenth-Century Mauritius Hardcover - 2005
by Megan Vaughan
From the rear cover
"Megan Vaughan has given us a vivid portrait of how a society was formed from the mixture of peoples and languages of eighteenth-century Mauritius. Slaves take the initiative here--one of the many new insights that "Creating the Creole Island" brings to history, literature, and anthropology. And the book is a wonderful read besides."--Natalie Zemon Davis, author of "Women on the Margins: Three Seventeenth-Century Lives"
