title = "Flexible Capitalism and Transactional Orders in Colonial and Postcolonial Mauritius: A Post-Occidentalist View",
abstract = "The chapter offers an alternative periodisation of twentieth century history for the small-island nation state Mauritius, arguingthat in light of the colonial history of Mauritius, which ended only in 1968, it is difficult to identify a neoliberal turn in the 1970s. Secondly, I argue that common notions of pre-capitalist moral economies and the ensuing differentiation in long-term and short-term transactional orders make little sense for Mauritius (and other world regions) because they neglect the long history of integration of plantation societies into the capitalist world-system. Instead I offer an analytical perspective that is open to thewidespread opposition to alliances between capital and religion and gendered exploitation going along with this in Mauritius and elsewhere.",
