Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Discover the extraordinary story of Reunion, a volcanic island born from fiery eruptions in the Indian Ocean that evolved into a vibrant crossroads of continents. From its silent beginnings as a pristine sanctuary of endemic flora and fauna, you will follow the first fleeting encounters of…Arab traders and Portuguese explorers, and then witness the dramatic arrival of French settlers who transformed an uninhabited rock into a colony driven by coffee and later sugar. Each chapter reveals how geography, ambition, and relentless human movement forged a society unlike any other.Delve into the painful yet pivotal era of slavery that powered the island's early prosperity, and learn about the courageous maroons who fled to the island's rugged cirques to build free communities in the highlands. The narrative continues through the tumultuous tides of the French Revolution, the brief British interlude that sparked the rise of sugarcane, and the seismic 1848 emancipation that ushered in a new age of freedom-and the complex systems of indentured labor that followed, bringing workers from India, China, and Africa whose legacies still shape Reunion today.Experience the birth of a true Creole culture as languages, religions, music, and cuisine blended across centuries, creating the lively sounds of Maloya and Sega, the rich tapestry of religious syncretism, and the flavorful cari that tells a story of survival and creativity. You will also explore the island's twentieth-century trials-from the sacrifices of its sons in two World Wars and the difficult Vichy years, to the landmark 1946 departmentalization that promised equality, the controversial Debre era, and the social unrest that challenged the promise of prosperity.Finally, step into contemporary Reunion, where you will confront the striking contrasts of a modern French department grappling with unemployment, inequality, and globalization, while simultaneously celebrating its UNESCO-listed natural wonders, the active Piton de la Fournaise, and a thriving cultural revival that asserts a plural identity rooted in metissage. This history is not just a chronicle of dates and events; it is an invitation to understand how a small volcanic island became a mirror of global forces-colonialism, slavery, resistance, migration, and the ongoing search for self-determination-offering readers a deep, nuanced perspective on what it means to be Reunionese in the twenty-first century. Explore Reunion's volcanic origins, colonial past, slavery emancipation, and vibrant Creole culture in this comprehensive history of the Indian Ocean island. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
