Abstract

This article examines Priya Hein's social novel Riambel (2023), analysing its utilization of literary devices, intertextuality, and feminist perspectives to challenge postcolonial power structures and amplify marginalized voices, particularly those of Afro-Mauritian women. Through an exploration of Hein's dismantling of her narrative conventions and authorial insights, this study underlines Hein's broader agenda of promoting solidarity and collective agency among the female characters. Ultimately, this article comments on Riambel as a narrative that unveils the deep-seated social injustices embedded within Mauritius's postcolonial systems and infrastructures, inviting critical engagement with historical legacies, and fostering space for diverse voices.
