  • Mauritius is a multi-ethnic and multi-language society; it is also a plural society with its population mainly composed of four ethnic groups and four major religious groups; it is often depicted as a "rainbow nation". The island of Mauritius did not have any indigenous population; historically, it was characterized by successive waves of European colonization and multiple immigrations. Under the French rule between 1715 and 1810, slaves were imported on the island from mainland Africa and Madagascar; slavery were only abolished in 1835 under the British rule. Indian migrants from Pondicherry first came in Mauritius under the French rule in 1736; The 18th century also saw one the earliest influx of Chinese migrants in Mauritius, who mostly came from Fujian. Under the British rule, more Indian migrants came to Mauritius following the slave emancipation of 1835. Since the 1800s Chinese migrants (mainly Cantonese, Fujianese, and Hakka) from Southern China (mainly from Fujian and Guangdong) arrived in Mauritius since the 1800s first as indentured labourers and later as free merchants. Since 1860, Hakka immigration started and continued until they become the dominant Chinese population in Mauritius since the beginning of the 20th century. The co-existence of Mauritians of Indian, African (known as Mauritian Creoles), European (mostly French), and Chinese ancestry eventually led to a sharing of values and cultures, a collective participation in festivals, and an increased understanding between people of different ethnic backgrounds. Mauritians from different cultural backgrounds are very distinct from each other, and it is also highly unpopular to encourage the dissolution of cultural boundaries in Mauritius. In present days, the Mauritian society continues to be culturally and linguistically French-dominated. (en)
  • La cultura de Mauricio reúne la mezcla de varios orígenes a través de la historia del país, sintetizadas por la base nativa. Mauricio es un país multicultural, pero algunos han observado que todavía no es una nación donde la gente internalice[cita requerida] la tierra de sus antepasados, manteniéndose por lo general en el ámbito de la realidad cotidiana.Aunque el país tiene, en esencia, su propio lenguaje, el mauriciano o Criollo mauriciano, una próspera literatura en tal lenguaje, su propia música y danza (la sega), una cocina especial, una tierra donde la mezcla racial es rica y vibrante, sus gobernantes intentan todavía buscar las raíces ideológicas que permitan el mejor progreso de este ambiente cultural. La cerveza de Mauricio, (especialmente Phoenix, desde 1963) es una importante parte de la cultura social del país. (es)
  • La culture de Maurice, petit pays insulaire d'Afrique australe, désigne d'abord les pratiques culturelles observables de ses 1 500 000 habitants.La culture mauricienne est caractérisée par une étonnante diversité d'imaginaires, de langues et de textes. Celle-ci est très influencée par la culture caribéenne. En effet, sur cette île, déserte à l'origine, découverte par les Arabes, visitée par les Portugais et les Hollandais, avec une phase durable de colonisation française et anglaise, des Africains, emmenés comme esclaves, côtoyèrent des coolies ou engagés indiens et chinois, surtout des commerçants. S'y développa une population de métis ou mulâtres, issus principalement des noirs, aussi appelés créoles, et des blancs, venus de France. (fr)
