 note = {This paper is focused on the Indian Ocean in order to study an island community called Chagossians, former inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago.All of them were forcibly (and illegally) displaced and relocated either in the Seychelles or Mauritius between 1967 and 1973 by the UK and US to make way for the construction of a US military base on Diego Garcia, a main island of the Chagos Archipelago. The UK and the US made a secret deal to eject the 2000 native inhabitants of Diego Garcia and the other islands in the Archipelago. The UK cut off the Archipelago from Mauritius as a lesser dependency and renamed it as British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) in 1965; in return Mauritius got its independence in 1968.
　　Various research studies have been conducted on the case: the precarious living conditions of the displaced Chagossians, their uprooted cultural identities, human rights, to name a few. This paper explores a literary work, Le Silence des Chagos (2005) by Shenaz Patel, translated from French into English by Jeffrey Zuckerman in 2019 as Silence of the Chagos, which enables us to understand the Chagossian plight from an anthropocentric perspective. My critical project is informed by the interpretive possibilities offered by the concept of island-ness and the discipline of blue humanities. Island-ness operates within geopolitics and emotional geographies. Blue humanities recognises the significance of oceans
not only as resources but also as sites of conflict, particularly where military
induced development activities generate deep-seated divisions.},
