Description of
The Seychelles: Unquiet Islands (Profiles)
Franda traces the historical background of the Seychelles from their first settlements through independence from Britain in 1976 and the tumultuous events of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Focusing on the key issues of environment, societal and race relations, economic and strategic forces, and domestic and international politics, he attempts throughout the book to understand the turbulence and change of the past few years in the context of both development literature and Indian Ocean politics.
