Maunick was a métis or mulatto, and as such was the subject of discrimination from both blacks and whites. He worked briefly as a librarian in Port-Louis before going to Paris in 1960, where he wrote, lectured, and directed for Coopération Radiophonique. He was also a frequent contributor to Présence Africaine and other journals.
Maunick's work was based not in the more traditional search for roots to establish an individual identity. Instead, he lamented his own isolation and the persecution of his people in poetry collections such as C.
Édouard Maunick grew up with his siblings Ursule, Jacques, Jean and Gérard in British Mauritius. Édouard Maunick's elder sister Lady Ursule Ramdanee is Kobita Jugnauth's mother. Jacques Maunick is a journalist, radio presenter and a former director of MBC Radio.[2]
