THE CHAGOS BETRAYAL By FLORIAN GROSSET published by @myriadeditions WINNER — 2022 Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing “A shocking graphic novel account of poverty and discrimination suffered by the Chagos Islanders when their eviction by the British enforced US military control of their Indian Ocean home. During the cold war, the US government sought to establish an overseas military presence in the Indian Ocean. This graphic novel is a shocking account of British complicity in the forced exodus of the Chagos Islanders from their homeland to make that plan possible.” To find out more about adaption of this or any of our titles visit or contact [email protected] #author #graphicnovel #politics #pagetoscreen #adaptation #governmentcorruption #discrimination #film #series @gowitheflo19 #booktoscreen #basedonthebook #bookadaptation #chagosislands #chagos #decolonisation #breadandrosesawardforradicalpublishing #breadandrosesaward

Last Tuesday (21/02/2022) I had the privilege to sit on a panel alongside @priyahein and critic Anthony Cummins at @Foyles , Charing Cross. @Priyahein is as delightful as her debut novel #Riambel. Through the story of the main character NoĂ©mie, Priya denounces an ongoing inequality between the poorest of the Mauritian society and the richest, namely a family of white Mauritians, descendants of the colonists, the oppressors. She delivers the harsh reality in a subtle way, yet so intense that one can sense the breeze from the sea on one's face and can feel one’s feet in the sand. As the story unfolds my heart starts to feel for NoĂ©mie and her mother... I become the character and suddenly, at the end of a chapter, food! A recipe, that she has cleverly inserted there. It makes my mouth water. I need to stop and find something to eat. Descriptions of delicious dishes punctuate the novel, and I swear that if there were more pages to read, I would have put on weight as I finished reading it. #Riambel is like those great sad songs that sting your heart, engrave your soul and leave a sweet melody at the back of your mind for a long time. Thank you @PressIndigoThe and @MyriadEditions for giving life to books like #Riambel and #TheChagosBetrayal that shed light on injustice caused by colonialism.

Bits from #thechagosbetrayal
 the WIP & the final, printed version. The #Chagossians spent days at the Gatwick airport when they arrived in England after obtaining British citizenship. Nobody has had organised accommodations for them or was prepared to take care of them; were they not British enough? Allen Vencatassin had to call the authorities and put his foot down. #myriadeditions #chagosislands #britishindianoceanterritory #diegogarcia #diegogarciaisland #displacement #displacedpeople #humanrights #chagos #illustrationartists #graphicnovels #graphicnovel #politicalgraphics #politicalgraphicnovels #illustrationartists #illustrationwork #illustratorsoninstagram
