Highlighting the on-going political possibilities of Indian Ocean networks and imaginaries in the twenty-first century, her work produces the Indian Ocean as an “activist sea”.Īdenjunmobi, M. Through depicting travelling, activist and working women, her work produces Indian Ocean feminisms. What emerges from her work too is the gendered nature of Indian Ocean space, in which it is largely men who travel and women who stay behind. These divisions relate to Indian Ocean histories of slavery, less well known than Atlantic histories, which appear in her work as the haunting of island space. In The Rape of Sita, Boy, Getting Rid of It and Mutiny, she represents Mauritius as both an exemplar of métissage as well as marked by divisions-along class, ethnic and gender lines. Lindsey Collen writes Mauritius as a postcolonial nation linked by ocean and air travel to the Indian Ocean region, a cross-national representation that refigures the relationship between the postcolonial nation, the world, and oceanic space. ![]()
