babel, and why i love it (SPOILERS!!!!)
ok im terribly late to reading it, for its not sold in many places where i live, so i found the pdf luckily.
babel is a book about colonialism and racism and oppression, it is about revolution and battling your inner conscience (in my opinion at least, i'll elaborate later). it tells the story of robin swift coming to the prestigious royal institute of translation or better known as babel, where during his yrs there he discovers that the glamourous oxford university isnt such a righteous place. his loyalty is tested, blood is shed and tears fall which leads up to a revolution to stop an incoming war.
there are many reviews regarding how its racist to white ppl (which is astounding to even think about) and that its not accurate as women werent allowed to go to university in the 1830s but im not going to talk about that, that much. i wanted to speak on the actual translation/language aspect of it.
throughout the book, translation and language r some of the main themes (obviously) but the impact it has on the people, both in the book and irl is smth i havent seen anyone mention. language isnt just a form of communication but it is part of our culture, it is part of our identity, and during colonial times many languages suffered, they were being erased as they were "barbaric" or "strange" they were banned and anyone who spoke them was punished like in victoires chapter. robin, ramy and victoire all can barely speak their native languages, robin has almost fogotten cantonese, ramy has very basic knowledge of bengali and victoire is never given a chance or is permitted to speak in haitian creole. they lost one of the main things that connects them to their motherland, they only have their appearance left. they will never be able to talk to their ppl properly.
victoire was frustrated that haitian creole isnt recognised as a proper language like how in their exams, her match-pair wouldnt be counted properly as haitian creole wouldnt be used much hence its "useless" in the eyes of prof. leblanc. she was beaten when she would speak haitian croele in her house in france. when she first came to babel she was correcting herself from "kreyol" to "haitian creole" and was unsure if she could even study it.
robin realised that prof.lovell actually knew more than him about his own language, his mother tongue. he could barely stand being back in canton and he felt isolated in a way as everything changed and was new and so was the language even though he was born hearing and speaking it.
not much is talked about this with ramy except that he barely knows bengali, even though hes fluent in english, latin, greek, arabic, persian and urdu. he knows 6 languages and in his chapter he is sed to "absorb languages like a sponge" and that he recited poems or writing in other languages he didnt know perfectly, even down to tone, only after having it read to him once but he barely knows his mother tongue.
this relates to modern times as many languages of previously colonised countries rely on english words like in india u will barely hear the word pathshala, instead u will hear school. in mauritian creole when people speak they will slip in english words, like "netwai whiteboard la" which means clean the whiteboard.
we dont know our language fully because of the erasure of them.
theres also 1st gen immigrant children where their mother tongue is smth they barely hear or they forgot after a while, they feel so incredibly disconnected once they realise. this is how robin is and this is how i am too, i was born in europe, then at 7 i moved to england and now im somewhere entirely different, i dont remember my mother tongue, i dont dream in it. which ultimately makes u lose ur voice in a metaphorical way.
u cant speak because u dont know how.
another important thing is the purposeful mistranslations and burning of books, thats not fully discussed in the book although it would have been a nice touch. colonisers purposefully mistranslated things to control the masses because when they burnt our books, they burnt our language, knowledge and people. and the exploitation of our languages like the statue at univ of william jones sitting at desk and 3 hindu sages on the floor infront of him exists, and how missionaries were taught our languages to help in conversion.
now onto the 1830s inaccuracies and racism:
its the fucking 1830s do u think white ppl were nice to poc at this time, like slavery just ended in the eyes of the law for britain but still continued in other places like america. reverse racism doesnt exist, white ppl can be prejudiced against but u lot r not oppressed and never will be, u lot wont be killed for being white, so stop crying. and about the women wouldnt be at university in the 1830s thing its fiction, r.f. kuang took some liberties.
and that is all i have to say, dont start an argument, anyways babel is great, go read it!!

One thing I find kinda confusing about being agender or nb in general is pronouns.
Like when I speak english idrc -I prefer they/them (tho im okay with he or she as well) and Ik this and when I speak my mother-tongue (mauritian creole) idrc cause we dont really have gendered pronouns and just use 'li' which can be used for he/him,she/her and also works as it
However I have french speaking family and a lot of them who live there. French is an extremely gendered language - even they has a fem and masc form and ik there are other languages like that.
So what exactly do i do in these sorts of situation? I dont usually care all that much but I genuinley believe that if ppl constantly used gender specific pronouns for me non-stop I would cry.
I'm not completely sure, as the only language I speak is English, but there might be an old word in that language that can be used as they/them pronouns. If all else fails, just make up words that mean they/them. I suggest talking to someone who knows a lot about that particular language and asking them about gender neutral pronouns.

I was in blue performing a dance call Sega with my friend for her SC final exams.
Sega (French: Séga) is one of the major music genres of Mauritius and Réunion. The other genres common in Mauritius are its fusion genre Seggae and Bhojpuri songs while in Réunion there is also seggae and maloya. It has origins in the music of slaves as well as their descendants Mauritian Creole people and is usually sung in Mauritian Creole or Réunionese Creole. Sega is also popular on the islands of Agaléga and Rodrigues as well as Seychelles, though the music and dances differ and it is sung in these islands' respective creole languages. In the past, the Sega music was made only with traditional instruments like ravanne and triangle, it was sung to protest against injustices in the Mauritian society, this particular version of the Sega is known as Santé engagé. Other types of Sega (Traditional Mauritian Sega, Sega tambour Chagos, Sega tambour of Rodrigues Island) have been included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage lists. Source:Wikipedia

Port Louis: A Tapestry of Culture, History, and Vibrancy
Port Louis has a long and interesting history. It started as a harbor used by Dutch settlers in 1638, named "Harbour of Tortoises" due to the many giant tortoises on the island. Later, in 1735, it became the main place for the French in Mauritius and got the name Port Louis in honor of King Louis XV. The city played a big role in French ships' journeys between Asia and Europe. Over the years, it witnessed significant events like the arrival of Indian laborers in 1834, the end of slavery in 1835, a plague in 1899, and riots in 1968 that led to Mauritius' independence.
Nowadays, Port Louis is the biggest city and the capital of Mauritius with around 150,000 people. It's the center for business, culture, and politics, hosting important places like the main harbor, parliament, supreme court, cathedral, and more. The city is diverse, with various cultures, religions, languages, and arts coexisting peacefully. You can explore its history by visiting places like Aapravasi Ghat, the Citadel, Caudan Waterfront, Central Market, Blue Penny Museum, Jummah Mosque, Kaylasson Temple, and Chinatown.
Mauritius is home to people from different backgrounds. About 67% are of Indian descent, speaking languages like Bhojpuri, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, and Marathi. Creoles make up about 28%, speaking Mauritian Creole, and they have African, Malagasy, European, or Asian roots. Around 3% are Chinese, mostly descendants of 19th and 20th-century traders, speaking Cantonese, Hakka, Mandarin, or other Chinese dialects. The smallest group, about 2%, are the French, descendants of 18th and 19th-century colonists, mainly speaking French.
The people of Mauritius, regardless of their background, live together harmoniously, celebrating their cultural diversity through various festivals and traditions. The crowded streets near the bus station in Port Louis showcase this diversity, with different cultures, religions, and backgrounds coming together. It's a place filled with vibrant sounds, smells of various cuisines, and a mix of people going about their daily lives.
The bazaar in Port Louis, also known as the Central Market, is a place reflecting Mauritius' history and culture. Established in 1828, it's a crucial part of the city's economy. Divided into sections, you can find fruits, vegetables, spices, meat, fish, flowers, handicrafts, souvenirs, and clothing. The fruits and vegetables section, in particular, offers a colorful display of local and imported produce depending on the season.
The harbor area around Caudan is another historical landmark. Developed over the years, it hosts various facilities and is a strategic port for trade and commerce. The underpass from Caudan to downtown Port Louis is a safe way to access the city's attractions. In 1996, the Caudan Waterfront became a commercial and leisure complex, offering shops, restaurants, cinemas, casinos, a marina, and a five-star hotel. It also preserves Mauritius' historical and cultural heritage through places like the Blue Penny Museum and the Caudan Arts Centre. The Caudan Waterfront is a popular spot for locals and tourists to enjoy the scenic view of the harbor and the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
