Book Description
Fighting Cane and Canon: Abhimanyu Unnuth and the Case of World Literature in Mauritius joins the growing field of modern Indian Ocean studies. The book interrogates the development and persistence of Hindi poetry in Mauritius with a focus on the early poetry of Abhimanyu Unnuth. His second work, The Teeth of the Cactus, brings together questions about the value of history, of relationships forged by labour, and of spirituality in a trenchant examination of a postcolonial people choosing to pursue prosperity in an age of globalization. It captures a distinct point of view – Unnuth’s connection to the Hindi language is an unusual reaction to the creolization of the island – but also a common experience: both of Indian immigrants and of the reevaluation of their experience by Mauritians reaching adulthood, as Unnuth did, with the Independence of the Mauritian nation in 1968. The book argues that for literary scholars, reading Abhimanyu Unnuth’s poetry raises important questions about the methodological assumptions made when approaching so-called marginal postcolonial works – assumptions about translation, language, and canonicity – through the emerging methodologies of World Literature.

Book Description
A surprisingly successful tiny island-state in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has a rich and startlingly complex history. Understanding the Mauritian experience_a peaceful multiethnic existence with exemplary democratic institutions on a 720-suare-mile island inhabited by more than one million people practicing all the great religions of the planet and coming from Asia, Europe, and Africa_could be useful elsewhere, especially in the Third World. A large bibliographical section will guide scholars and the general reader to further reading. This is an in-depth revision of Lindsay Riviere's 1982 edition.
