It Was A Practised Prejudice And Not A Preached Privilege - Paperback

by Jarkcel (Author)

One fragment has been tossed, hoping that the entire puzzle shall be glossed. At high school, always isolated; discriminations took forms and weakened his adolescence. Deliberately, standing close to that boy, Won and his allies loudly criticised his banlieue. Due to drugs and poverty, Roche-Bois is a stigmatised banlieue in Mauritius.

But has anybody ever realised the impact of this stigmatisation on Roche-Bois' children? What happens when they attend secondary school in another region of another district, especially a rural one?

From half-handshakes to being excluded from dinner, he finds himself ostracised within a group of five. Subtle, passive, and indirect microaggressions were plotted at each step of his journey.

Educators misperceived prejudices as privileges. Being ignored, unseen, hated, unwanted; the Roche-Bois post-adolescent bears a tranquillity of dignity. Usually a conformist - he is out there, breaking all rules and regulations to disruptively console himself by staring at the ill-lit sea.
