No sooner had the assembled hosts heard that than they all fled; to the north, south, east, and west, they ran as fast as their legs would carry them and the king, wondering, bewil dered and astonished, was left alone by himself.

Excerpt from The Antananarivo Annual and Madagascar Magazine, 1893, Vol. 5: A Record of Information on the Topography and Natural Productions of Madagascar, and the Customs, Traditions, Language, and Religious Beliefs of Its People; No. XVII-Christmas (Part I) Perhaps my experience has been exceptional and unfortunate average village life may not be so faulty as it has seemed to me, and something may be due to morbid perceptions in the Observer. I Sincerely hope it may be so. In order to secure as clear an arrangement of the subject as possible, the matter will be thrown under two main divisions, namely, Domestic Relations, and Social Conditions. I. - domestic relations. The romance of Malagasy courtship in an almost invisible quantity. Many unnatural mothers, for reasons known to themselves, encourage their children in immorality from a early age; thus the bloom of innocence is destroyed, and many are doomed to disease and childlessness. Also, it is common for young couples to cohabit previous to marriage, in order, it is said, to test compatibility of temper and constitution. At the end of six months or a year, the man sometimes comes to the unreasonable conclusion that there is not sufficient ground of agreement, and seeks some one more to his fancy. Many Malagasy daughters are subject ed to this treatment: they go on trial with the prospect of marriage, but with the understood possibility of rejection. Others again, to preserve more semblance of respectability, conform to the old marriage custom, which is, however, no longer binding, and thus evade the element of permanence in their union. One damsel, by this provisional and contingent arrangement, has been led to seven successive homes. The parties most closely concerned are generally allowed no option in the matter. Their partners for life are arbitrarily Chosen by the parents and kinsfolk, and the contract is often made While they are mere children. The main consideration is to keep family property intact, for which reason near relations most frequently intermarry. Should there be no one in any wise eligible, the daughter is made over to the most wealthy suitor, irrespective of age, character or appearance. Hence there are found some most incongruous matches. Personal predilections or previous attachments are overruled and ignored. A woman on her deathbed directed her husband, who was overfifty years of age, to wed his granddaughter (by marriage), A girl of fifteen, the motive being to prevent the property becom ing separated.

Excerpt from The Antananarivo Annual and Madagascar Magazine, Christmas, 1885, Vol. 9: A Record of Information on the Topography and Natural Productions of Madagascar, and the Customs, Traditions, Language, and Religious Beliefs of Its People The population of Imerina is usually estimated at 1, ooo, ooo. Speaking roughly, we may say that about one-tenth of the population of Imerina are registered as scholars; rather less than one-half of these are actually attending school; and about one-half of those in attendance are able to read.

This book examines the history and impact of environmental change in Madagascar. Drawing on interdisciplinary, ethnographic methodologies, the book presents local and global perspectives on current environmental changes and their drivers, from mining to development and deforestation. The book emphasizes the embeddedness of Malagasy peoples’ social relationships with the natural environment, and contrasts this with the way the Malagasy environment is viewed by international conservation organizations. Through the presentation of concrete case studies, the contributors assess the current controversy over the history and nature of human impact on the environment in Madagascar, and offer innovatory insights into how these controversies, which plague current policy making, can be settled.

In 1838, William Ellis of the LMS published a History of Madagascar―considered a key primary source for nineteenth-century Malagasy history. Four years later, David Griffiths, longest serving member of the Madagascar Mission, published Hanes Madagascar (“History of Madagascar”) in Welsh. Campbell’s study explores the intriguing relationship between these works and their authors. It analyses the role of Griffiths; presents evidence that much of Ellis’ History derived from Griffiths’ research; and presents the first ever translation of Hanes Madagascar (with extensive annotations). This study suggests that the tensions arising from the different cultural perceptions of Welsh and English missionaries moulded the destiny of the Madagascar mission. It will hopefully inspire re-evaluation of other missions and their relationship to British imperial policy.

Nineteenth-century highland Madagascar was a place inhabited by the dead as much as the living. Ghosts, ancestors and the possessed were important historical actors alongside local kings and queens, soldiers, traders and missionaries. This book considers the challenges that such actors pose for historical accounts of the past and for thinking about questions of presence and representation. How were the dead made present, and how were they recognized or not? In attending to these multifarious encounters of the nineteenth century, how might we reflect on the ways in which our own history-writing makes the dead present? To tackle these questions, Zoë Crossland tells an anthropological history of highland Madagascar from a perspective rooted in archaeology and Peircean semiotics, as well as in landscape study, oral history and textual sources.

Political Oratory and Cartooning An Ethnography of Democratic Processes in Madagascar “Insightful, detailed, and substantial, this book has much to say to students of language and followers of politics, not to mention those of us passionate about both and how they interact.” Virginia R. Dominguez, Gutgsell Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign “Why don’t more people write books like this? Jennifer Jackson’s brilliant insights on Malagasy cartooning, oratory, and political culture are not only a breath of fresh air for the anthropological study of political language, but a genuinely creative contribution to the study of global democracy.” David Graeber, Goldsmiths, University of London Called kabary in the island nation of Madagascar, political oratory jostles with political cartoon satire in competing for public attention and shaping opinion. The apparent simplicity of these modes of political commentary conceals nuanced subtleties, which inform the constantly evolving landscape of politics. Linguistic anthropologist Jennifer Jackson offers an original semiotic analysis of the formative social role played by these narratives in Madagascar’s polity. Though political orators and cartoonists rarely come face to face, their linguistic skirmishing both reflects and informs the political process, deploying rhetorical devices that have significant impacts on the vernacular political culture, its language and publics. This new ethnography examines the dynamic interplay between past and new forms of oratory and satire and their effects in social, religious, class, and transnational contexts. Jackson assesses how far they mirror the vicissitudes of political agency and authority, especially under the leadership of President Marc Ravalomanana. The author shows how democracy must be understood as historically contingent, bound in a local and global accretion of social and economic relations, and always mediated by language.

An innovative collection of essays that foregrounds specific cargoes as a means to understand connectivity and mobility across the Indian Ocean world. Scholars have long appreciated the centrality of trade and commerce in understanding the connectivity and mobility that underpin human experience in the Indian Ocean region. But studies of merchant and commercial activities have paid little attention to the role that cargoes have played in connecting the disparate parts of this vast oceanic world. Drawing from the work of anthropologists, geographers, and historians, Cargoes in Motion tells the story of how material objects have informed and continue to shape processes of exchange across the Indian Ocean. By following selected cargoes through both space and time, this book makes an important and innovative contribution to Indian Ocean studies. The multidisciplinary approach deepens our understanding of the nature and dynamics of the Indian Ocean world by showing how transoceanic connectivity has been driven not only by economic, social, cultural, and political factors but also by the materiality of the objects themselves.
