A native anthropologist, the author provides critical insight into the dynamics of contemporary Mauritian society. In her meticulously researched study of ethnic, gender and racial discrimination in Mauritius, she addresses debates carried out in many developing societies on subaltern identities, ethnicity, poverty and social injustice. The book therefore also offers important empirical material for scholars interested in the wider Indian Ocean region and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"... a major contribution to both the ethnography of Mauritius and to the anthropology of discursive identity formation.\"\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003e·  Paula Heinonen, University of Oxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"Nobody has done this ethnography before... her material is rich and unique...
