Cemeteries in Saint-Denis of Reunion Island: Cemeteries • Cultural markers • Identities • Indian communities • Reunion Island • SegregationThis paper proposes a geographical interpretation of the revival of identities on Reunion Island. The analysis looks at the marking of space in the seaside cemetery in Saint-Denis. It emphasises the strategies developed by the island’s Indian communities to differentiate themselves from each other in the «space of death» and focuses on the particular case of Muslim Indians. We see that, in their spatial dimension, patterns of social differentiation are no longer based on economic criteria, but now seem linked to cultural practices. |
