Opis

Mooneeram gives a fascinating account of the unique history of the national language of Mauritius--creole--and the process of standardization that it is undergoing. He focuses on the work of the author Dev Virahsawmy, who, through his Shakespeare translations, is an active agent in the standardization of Mauritian creole.
