Description: "The narratives under consideration in Rainbow Colors depict Mauritius's history of competing colonial forces, describe its intimate social geography of free and forced migrations, and portray the anxieties of mixed race persons and cultures in postcolonies. This study argues that there is no single grand narrative of cultural hybridity and ethnic pluralism in Mauritius."--Jacket.
