Mauritian independence in 1968 marked the end of a regime favorable
to the Franco-Mauritians, the island's white colonial elite. Now,
in postcolonial Mauritius, this group is faced with a much more
diverse power constellation and often feels in competition with
others vying for their privileges. Though this is a clear departure
from the colonial heydays, Franco-Mauritians have been able to
continue their elite position into the early twenty-first century.
This book focuses on the power of white elites still lingering on
in postcolonial realities, and with regards to elites and power in
general, addresses anew how an elite group aims to prolong its
position over time.
