The Other Hybrid Archipelago presents the postcolonial literatures
of the Francophone Indian Ocean islands to an Anglophone audience.
The islands of Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, the Comoros, and the
Seychelles form a region that has a particular cultural identity
because of the varied mixture of populations that have settled
there and the dominant influence of French colonialism. This survey
concentrates on the period since the Second World War, when most of
the islands achieved independence, except for Reunion and Mayotte,
which maintain a regional status within the French Republic. The
postcolonial approach suggests certain recurrent themes and
preoccupations of the islands' cultures and an appropriate way to
define their recent cultural production, while taking account of
the burden of their colonial past. The rich cocktail of cultural
and linguistic influences surveyed is situated in relation to the
contemporary political and social context of the islands and their
marginal status within the global economy.
