Finally the book is coming out (please look at the page that outlines it in this very blog). The special launch price is Rs 275/- and I must thank the MGI, for selling at almost cost price: if published commercially, this book would have easily cost twice as much and would have been out of the reach of many people who are interested in the visual arts.
I sincerely hope that this book will spark some kind of interest in the wider public and will be a means to build something together. I am thinking of my ex-students who now teach in several secondary schools, as well as a few batches of teachers that attended my lectures on art history at the MIE. I hope that the book is at least helpful in giving some kind of wider map that can be used to understand the different aspects of the art of Mauritius.
Please respond by writing your feedback, what you think could be improved upon, what could be included, or developed in greater detail.
