- Title
L'HISTOIRE D'UNE QUETE IDENTITAIRE DANS MADE IN MAURITIUS D'AMAL SEWTOHUL.
- Authors
TOMESCU, RODICA
- Abstract
Amal Sewtohul's third novel, "Made in Mauritius", tackles exoticism in relation to emmigration and creolisation. Through the voice of its protagonist, Laval, of a ChineseMauritian extraction, applying for Australian citizenship, we are offered samples of an exotic world with anchors in the social and the political issues of globalisation. The novel exposes some intcrogations, such as what constitutes a nation nowadays and it gives us clues to reflect on words like nationalism, transnationalism and globalisation. Mauritius, as Laval's birthplace, is not a monolithic nation, but a nation «arc-cn-ciel», made of the sum of the histories of the inhabitants.
