Reza Shah's Exile in Mauritius with Houchang Chehabi
February 8, 2023
Speaker: Houchang Chehabi
Dr. Houchang Chehabi discusses his new research work on Reza Shah and his family's exile in Mauritius.
In 1941 Reza Shah and most of his family were exiled by the British to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. They remained there for six months. This talk discusses the circumstances of the royal family's long trip from Bandar Abbas via India to Mauritius, their reception by the colonial authorities of the island, and their ambiguous relations with local Mauritian society against the background of the geopolitics of the Indian Ocean during the Second World War.
Dr. Houchang Chehabi is a Visiting Professor at UCLA and Emeritus Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University.
