Little India: Diaspora, Time, and Ethnolinguistic Belonging in Hindu Mauritius
Patrick Eisenlohr
Examines a example of linguistic plurality on the island of Mauritius, where more than two-thirds of the population is of Indian ancestry. This study focuses on the formation of diaspora as mediated through the cultural phenomenon of Indian ancestral languages - principally Hindi, which is used primarily in religious contexts.
