Abstract:

Furcy’s fate after achieving legal recognition of his freedom was difficult to pinpoint, but his life has been reclaimed as a symbol to the people of Réunion who seek justice and equality today. Several plays, an award-winning novel by Mohammed Aïssaoui, and a popular song by Kaf Malbar all celebrate Furcy’s resistance to slavery. Yet the true meaning of Furcy’s struggle for freedom is more ambiguous; he certainly fought long and hard for his own freedom, but did not participate actively in the wider antislavery movement. For Furcy, freedom meant the capacity to enjoy his status as a father, husband, and property-owner, including the ownership of two slaves before slavery was abolished in Mauritius.

Abstract:

This book explores the hidden history of a family in slavery and freedom in the Indian Ocean empires of France and Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A tale of legal intrigue, this biography uncovers the family lives of slaves and free people in two islands, Réunion (Isle Bourbon) and Mauritius (Isle de France). Madeleine, a girl from Bengal, entered the service of a French mistress in Chandernagor in the 1750s and accompanied her to France, where she became the slave of a planter couple who brought her to Isle Bourbon. Madeleine’s three children — Maurice, Constance, and Furcy — survived monsoons, famine, and the French Revolution. At the heart of the story is Furcy’s legal struggle to free himself from his putative master, Joseph Lory, a case that was ultimately decided by the Royale Court (Cour royale) of Paris in 1843. A meticulous work of archival detective work, Madeleine’s Children investigates the cunning, clandestine, and brutal strategies that masters devised to keep slaves under their control while painting a vivid picture of the unique and evolving meanings of slavery and freedom in the Indian Ocean world.

Abstract:

In 1770 Madeleine’s mistress, Anne Despense de la Loge, brought the adolescent Madeleine to Lorient, France, as her servant. Their voyage took them through Isle de France (Mauritius), where the French navy was preparing for war against the British. There, she sold or traded Madeleine to a colonial family from Isle Bourbon, Charles and Marie Anne Routier, despite French Free Soil laws that should have prevented the transfer, gift, or sale. Madeleine’s status as an Indian, rather than an African, made her slave status ambiguous at a time when French policy was increasingly tying African descent to slavery. The Routiers’ colonial wealth was founded in their parents’ service to the French East India Company and the expanding use of slave labor in island plantations.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the use of the trope of hunger in Lindsey Collen's There is a Tide (1990) and Mutiny (2001) to dispel the myth of Mauritius as a model of paradise that permeates historical, travel, and literary writing. In these texts, the plight of characters debilitated by lack of nourishment, literally and metaphorically, and symbolically consumed by the ravenous, parasitic apotheoses of capitalist market relations points to cannibalism as the ultimate act of domination. Specifically, Collen draws an analogy between the historic slavery that had been the economic basis of the island as a plantation colony, and contemporary economic processes that commodify bodies in the production of consumable goods. In this general scenario of cannibalistic cravings that threaten the autonomy of physical and national bodies, the predicament of the Chagossians (or Chagos Islanders)—forcibly displaced to Mauritius after their island was expropriated and turned into a strategic lynchpin for U.S. military operations in the Middle East and the wider Indian Ocean region—evokes territorial appropriation as spatial cannibalism par excellence. The chapter also highlights the newer forms of cannibal intent that continue to define islands' contact and subsequent negotiations with consumer culture.

Abstract:

After a year, Lory ordered Furcy removed from the Isle Bourbon prison and sent him to his sister-in-law’s plantation in British Mauritius. Joseph Lory helped to finance the illegal Indian Ocean slave trade; the captain and supercargo of the Succès, a ship Lory and his business partner financed, were prosecuted twice for smuggling African slaves, but Lory escaped prosecution. Furcy passed the years trying to get out from Lory’s control by sending letters to Boucher in France. The British Commission on Inquiry provided the opportunity for Furcy to challenge his enslavement to Lory in Mauritius in 1826, effecting his freedom in fact, if not in law.

Abstract:

The Napoleonic Code, as interpreted in the Mascarene Islands, hampered manumission and severely restricted the rights of free people of color. The slave trade was abolished precisely as the islands invested in sugar production, creating more onerous conditions for slaves. Mauritius fell under British rule. When her mistress died in 1808, Madeleine learned that the estate owed her nineteen years’ wages, a sum that should have allowed her to purchase Furcy’s freedom. Instead, the widow’s son-in-law, Joseph Lory, claimed Furcy as his slave and tricked Madeleine into signing a receipt for the amount owed to her by the Routier family.

Abstract:

An examination of France’s Atlantic and Indian Ocean empires through the stories of the little known people who built it. This book is a groundbreaking evaluation of the interwoven trajectories of the people, such as itinerant ship-workers and colonial magistrates, who built France’s first empire between 1680 and 1780 in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. These imperial subjects sought new political and legal influence via law courts, with strategies that reflected local and regional priorities, particularly regarding slavery, war, and trade. Laurie M. Wood focuses largely on appellate courts in Martinique and Île de France (now Mauritius) and shows how the courts appealed to French citizens owing to their strategic place at the center of the largest and most dynamic oceanic zones of trade during the early modern era. Through court records and legal documents, she reveals how the courts became liaisons between France and its new colonial possessions, and how subjects used the courtrooms as gateways to other courtrooms in the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and in France.
