Thesis (Ph.D.)--Duke University, 1999.

This dissertation is a study of the processes of creolization in two islands of the Indian Ocean: Mauritius and La Reunion. These processes involve the relations arising from the coming together of peoples from diverse parts of the globe. The area was peopled most significantly by the French and British who established colonies. Migration under different circumstances brought together peoples from the African continent, Madagascar, and different parts of Asia. While La Reunion is a department, Mauritius has been an independent nation since 1968. The central question is how the various categories, which have to do with race and ethnicity, are generated in the framework of a national, or lack of a properly national, identity. Differences between the two islands arising from their different statuses are discussed.

520 $a This dissertation is a study of the processes of creolization in two islands of the Indian Ocean: Mauritius and La Reunion. These processes involve the relations arising from the coming together of peoples from diverse parts of the globe. The area was peopled most significantly by the French and British who established colonies. Migration under different circumstances brought together peoples from the African continent, Madagascar, and different parts of Asia. While La Reunion is a department, Mauritius has been an independent nation since 1968. The central question is how the various categories, which have to do with race and ethnicity, are generated in the framework of a national, or lack of a properly national, identity. Differences between the two islands arising from their different statuses are discussed.
520 $a Creolization. as the central thematic is a force that is destabilizing to essentialist categories of "race" and "ethnicity." It is employed in its potential for resistance to static, pure identities and used as a politics of reading. Classifications according to these categories are studied with regard to the mechanisms and conditions, which permit and encourage the formation of such terminology and its effects. The concept of "class" as a dynamic, strategic, and symbolic category accomplishes a re-accounting of their formation and legitimacy.
520 $a The dissertation treats contemporary literature from these two islands while making reference to texts and events from earlier periods. The question of the competition of languages---primarily French and Creole---is crucial to the understanding of both ethnicity and nationalism. Studies from socio-linguistics are cited to understand this situation. Anthropological texts by Thomas Hylland Eriksen are used in the critique of ethnicity in the national context of Mauritius.
520 $a The strategic use of the concept of "class" in understanding the notions of race and ethnicity reveal the latter to be symptomatic as well as constitutive of the same structural hierarchy, whether in what is seen temporally as the "colonial," "postcolonial," or "neocolonial" era. Racial categories are seen to inform those of ethnicity, while all these divisions are generated by mechanisms within the colonial as well as postcolonial state/administrative apparatus.
