Creating the Creole Island: Slavery in Eighteenth-Century Mauritius Tapa dura - 2005

de Megan Vaughan

Descripción de contraportada

"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"
