La traite dans l'Océan Indien est un fait plus que millénaire, facteur de fracture mais élément du "continuum culturel". Bourbon, déserte au XVIIe siècle, en reçoit l'essentiel de son peuplement avant que le relais ne soit pris par l'engagisme. Environ 80 000 esclaves arrivent dans l'île avant 1817, année d'interdiction de la traite. Celle-ci se poursuit de façon clandestine : quelque 50 000 captifs débarquent entre 1817 et 1835 et, peut-être, quelques milliers de plus jusqu'en 1848. La traite ruine-t-elle ceux qui s'y livrent ? Est-elle dangereuse pour les acheteurs ? Impose-t-elle des souffrances intolérables à ses victimes ? Malgré trente ans de recherche, les énigmes restent nombreuses en raison des ruses des négriers et des destructions involontaires et volontaires d'archives. Sujet longtemps tabou, la traite illégale relève d'une "histoire du silence" en cours d'édification. In the Indian Ocean, slave trade is an age-old phenomenon, both factor of fracture and of cultural continuity as well. Uninhabited during the seventeenth century, the Reunion island received the most part of its population from the slave trade, before indentured labour took over. Roughly, 80,000 slaves came in the island before 1817, the year when the slave trade was forbidden. It continued through an illegal way : around 50,000 slaves disembarked from 1817 to 1835, and perhaps some thousands more until 1848. Did slave trade ruin people engaged in it ? Was it dangerous for the buyers ? Did it impose its victims intolerable sufferings ? Despite thirty years of research, enigma are still numerous, because of slave traders' tricks as well as intentional and unintentional records destructions. Taboo for long, the illegal slave trade comes close to a "history of silence" still in the process of being written.
