Race Wars in CELL: a Reading of Lindsey Collen’s Mutiny
Rie KOIKE 한국외국어대학교(글로벌캠퍼스) 아프리카연구소 2016 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.39 No.-
In the 19th century, a prominent American writer Mark Twain said, “God made Mauritius first and then modelled Heaven on the island.” Mauritius was mainly a green island with volcanic mountains and dodos. It took a long time for human beings to settle there. It was more difficult to live there permanently than to pay a short visit as a visiting ship’s crew. It is very surprising that Mauritius is one of the most densely populated and mixed cultural countries in the world. Even though it has no indigenous people, it has a 400-year-history of settlers. The first settlers were the Dutch in the 17th century. The reality is that the complex ethnic composition of the Mauritian population has been a cause of classification and recognition of individual communities. Mauritius is a multicultural nation. Though there is no explicit racial discrimination, ethnic discrimination exists in indirect forms. For the 46 years of its independence, every successive government of Mauritius has kept struggling for Mauritian-ness, and tried to create and strengthen a sense of national belonging. There is powerful state discourse on this, for example, in the 12 March Independence Day Celebrations. Civil society is also engaged in this endeavour to create a sense of Mauritian-ness. In this paper, through Mutiny, a novel written by South African born Mauritian writer Lindsey Collen, we will see the reality of Mauritius far from its glossy representation as in Tourist brochures.

SHARING THEIR/OUR FATES/FIGHTS

This paper investigates two literary texts related respectively to Okinawa and the Chagos: Davinder L. Bhowmik’s and Steve Rabson’s Islands of Protest: Japanese Literature from Okinawa (2016) and Lindsey Collen’s Mutiny (2002). Over the course of the last couple of decades, activists and scholars based in Mauritius have offered the serious depictions of the Chagossians to appear in the journalistic and scholarly writings. Hitherto, the topic was confined to the medium of articles. Literature scholars have ignored to explore the topic itself and likewise, never drawn a parallel between Okinawa and the Chagos. This paper recalls the history of Okinawa and the Chagos, summarizes the treatment of the Okinawans and the Chagossians from literary perspective, and turns to the question of how the voices of the Okinawans and Chagossians can inform readings of Medoruma and Collen. Some part of this paper was presented at an international conference held at the University of Mauritius in 2017 to celebrate the 50 years of independence from Britain in 1968. This is a revised paper adding quite a few touches to the original presentation. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the staff for organizing the conference. I also feel so grateful and truly honored to have been on the session regarding the Chagos along with all those distinguished scholars from the world. My personal and/or professional interest is more on the literary and cultural studies side; therefore, it is truly challenging for me to write about the Chagos and Okinawa with a bit of historical backgrounds
