Portrait of an Island on Fire
by Ariel Saramandi
ISBN: 9781804271612
Published: 2025-06-19
A deeply moving and revelatory reading experience, the essays collected in Portrait of an Island on Fire form a searing account of Mauritius at a crucial moment in its history. Unceasing in its critiques of various abuses of power, in its unpicking of the ills at the core of Mauritian society and their roots, the collection is a milestone in thinking about the lasting social and political effects of colonialism and how they play out at the level of government policy, the handling of environmental issues, in schools, all the way down to the way that individuals relate to one another.
