Aapravasi Ghat
World Heritage
Mauritius
🎧 Listen to Introduction
In the Port Louis district sits a 1,640 square meter site where the modern indentured diaspora began. In 1834, the British government chose the island of Mauritius as the first site for its so-called “great experiment” to replace slaves with “free” labor. Between 1834 and 1920, nearly half a million indentured laborers arrived at Aapravasi Ghat from India to work on Mauritius’ sugar plantations or were transferred to Réunion Island, Australia, South and East Africa, or the Caribbean. The architecture of Aapravasi Ghat is one of the earliest explicit manifestations of what would become a global economic system and one of the largest migrations in history.
