You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Refimprove|date=April 2016))
The island of Mauritius is home to many languages, and '''Mauritian literature''' exists in [[French language|French]], [[English language|English]], [[Mauritian Creole |Creole]] and [[Languages of India|Indian languages]]. Major themes in Mauritian literature include [[exoticism]], [[multiracialism]] and [[miscegenation]], racial and social conflicts, ''[[indianocéanisme]]'', and—more recently—[[post-modernism]] and [[post-structuralism]] currents, such as ''[[coolitude]]''.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272272814|title=Mauritius and global culture: literature|work=Researchgate.net|accessdate=17 April 2016))</ref>

After independence in 1968 writers like [[Dev Virahsawmy]] reactivated creole language, then considered as a "patois," and wrote literature, especially drama. The new generation of writers has expressed persistent concern with structure and more global themes.

While ''[[Mauritian Creole|Kreol Morisyen]]'' is the most spoken language on in Mauritius, most of the literature is written in [[French language|French]], although many authors write in [[English language|English]], [[Bhojpuri]], and [[Mauritian Creole|Morisyen]]. Mauritius's renowned playwright [[Dev Virahsawmy]] writes exclusively in Morisyen.

Important authors include [[Malcolm de Chazal]], [[Ananda Devi]], Raymond Chasle, and [[Edouard Maunick]].((Citation needed|date=May 2007)) [[Lindsey Collen]] has been able to carve out a meeting of imaginaries in the unique social setup of this multi-faceted country. Other younger writers like Shenaz Patel, Natacha Appanah, Alain Gordon-Gentil and Carl de Souza explore the issues of ethnicity, superstition and politics in the novel.<ref>((cite web|url=http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/projects?ref=AH/J00037X/1|title=Contemporary Mauritian Literature: (De)Colonisation, Globalisation, Multiculturalism |work=rcuk.ac.uk|accessdate=17 April 2016))</ref> Poet and critic [[Khal Torabully]] has put forward the concept of "coolitude," a poetics that results from the blend of Indian and Mauritian cultural diversity. Other poets include Hassam Wachill, [[Edouard Maunick]], Sedley Assone, Yusuf Kadel and Umar Timol.

[[J. M. G. Le Clézio]], who won the [[Nobel Prize for Literature]] in 2008, is of Mauritian heritage and holds dual French-Mauritian citizenship.

The island plays host to the Le Prince Maurice Prize, a literary award celebrating and recognizing 'writers of the heart'. The award is designed to highlight the literary love story in all its forms rather than for pure Romantic Fiction. In keeping with the island's literary culture the prize alternates on a yearly basis between English-speaking and French-speaking writers.
