Media Reviews
'Scarr has produced an extremely readable ook on the history of the Seychelle islands. There has been little written on this subject that is available to a wider public outside the Seychelles A... he has amassed a considerable amount of material derived from sources far ad wide A... in bringing together such disparate sources, Scarr has been able to reconstruct an internal picture of Seychelles society during the period of slavery and post-slavery A... He has also masterfully captured the capriciousness of the Seychelles elite, as well as examining closely the nature and causes of their stranglehold over all aspects of life in the Seychelles under colonial rule.' -African Affairs
