NYAC S4 E9: Mauritian Identity

On this episode, we learn about Mauritius and the Mauritian identity from a guest Ms. Axelle Lagaillarde.

She educates us about its history, politics and peoples. We also discuss the dissociation of Mauritians, particularly Indo-Mauritians, from Africa.

Though technically a part of the continent, Mauritius' proximity to India, as well as its Indian origins/ancestry, are very prominent and influential on the island. Lastly, to Amayo's dismay, in spite of its rich diversity Mauritius has no plantains.
