As they set off for Madagascar in 2003, photographer Max Pam and writer Stephen Muecke adopted as their guiding principle the idea of contingency-central to which is the conscious embrace of risk and chance.

Building God’s Kingdom studies how the encounter with nineteenth century Madagascar influenced the Norwegian Protestant mission. Drawing upon rich Norwegian and Malagasy sources, entangled and multivocal stories are allowed to unfold, revealing the complex dynamics of mission encounters. Tracing Malagasy agency and pursuit of churchly independence in pre-colonial and colonial Madagascar, this study explores the power-struggles between the Malagasy, the missionaries and between the mission in Norway and Madagascar. Through careful attention to context and agency, Karina Hestad Skeie provides new perspectives on the interplay between the local and the global in Christian missions, and on the centrality and restrictions of local agency on mission policy.

"La situation économique de Madagascar est singulière à plus d'un titre. D'une part, le niveau de vie des Malgaches ne cesse de régresser depuis l'indépendance en 1960, un cas unique pour un pays qui n'a pas connu de conflits majeurs ; d'autre part, à chaque fois que le pays s'est engagé sur la voie de la croissance, celle-ci a été brutalement interrompue par une crise socio-politique mettant à bas les espoirs suscités. Pour éclairer ce contexte spécifique, les auteurs décryptent l'"énigme" et le "paradoxe" malgaches en procédant à une lecture d'économie politique dans le temps long et en s'appuyant sur des données statistiques de première main. La trajectoire du pays est analysée à l'aune des théories du développement. L'identification des rentes et des stratégies d'acteurs, le rôle de la violence, le fonctionnement des institutions, la sociologie des élites malgaches ainsi que le rapport entre les citoyens et le pouvoir sont également parmi les grands thèmes traités. En dépit de sa spécificité, Madagascar apparaît à la lumière de cette analyse comme emblématique d'une situation commune à de nombreux pays du Nord comme du Sud. La fragilité des coalitions entre élites y nourrit une instabilité systémique d'autant plus grande qu'elle vient se greffer sur un mécontentement populaire récurrent. En effet, même dans les rares périodes fastes, les aspirations au progrès des Malgaches se sont toujours heurtées aux dures réalités du quotidien. Un ouvrage à la fois documenté et accessible, pour mieux comprendre Madagascar et appréhender les différentes dimensions du développement au Sud."--Page 4 of cover.

Between 1600 and 1800, the promise of fresh food attracted more than seven hundred English, French, and Dutch vessels to Madagascar. Throughout this period, European ships spent months at sea in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, but until now scholars have not fully examined how crews were fed during these long voyages. Without sustenance from Madagascar, European traders would have struggled to transport silver to Asia and spices back to Europe. Colonies in Mozambique, Mauritius, and at the Cape relied upon frequent imports from Madagascar to feed settlers and slaves. Jane Hooper draws on challenging and previously untapped sources to analyze Madagascar's role in provisioning European trading networks within and ultimately beyond the Indian Ocean. The sale of food from the island not only shaped trade routes and colonial efforts but also encouraged political centralization and the slave trade in Madagascar. Malagasy people played an essential role in supporting European global commerce, with far-reaching effects on their communities. "Feeding Globalization" reshapes our understanding of Indian Ocean and global history by insisting historians should pay attention to the role that food played in supporting other exchanges.

L’engagement pris par 147 chefs d’État d’accorder un « soutien indéfectible » à la réalisation des Objectifs du millénaire pour le développement (OMD) a eu un impact fort sur la structuration de l’aide, sur la définition des politiques promues et sur leur mise en œuvre par les gouvernements des pays du Sud depuis dix ans. Mais quel en a été l’impact sur le développement des pays concernés et quelle distance reste-t-il à parcourir pour que les OMD soient atteints à l’échéance de 2015 ? Cet ouvrage propose un bilan à mi-parcours de l’état de réalisation des cinq premiers objectifs pour Madagascar. Outre un diagnostic chiffré des évolutions récentes observées en matière de pauvreté, de scolarisation, de santé ou encore d’égalité des sexes, il présence les résultats de recherches originales sur des thématiques aussi diverses que la demande d’éducation, les discriminations, la fécondité, l’occupation spatiale du territoire… Au travers d’analyses minutieuses d’économistes, de démographes, d’agronomes et de géographes, les facteurs de blocage susceptibles de freiner la marche de Madagascar vers la réalisation des OMD sont mis en lumière. Il est aujourd’hui certain que les OMD ne pourront pas être atteints en 2012, en partie du fait de la crise politique qui sévit à Madagascar depuis le début de l’année 2009. Mais en adoptant une perspective de long terme, ce livre apporte des éléments concerts, utiles pour la mise en place de politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté et la conduite d’actions de développement, dont il faudra tenir compte une fois la crise résolue.

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.

The Malagasy possess a profound religious, socio-political and economic attachment to land which connects individuals and kinship groups with the ancestors. International stakeholders value Madagascar for its biodiversity, minerals and agricultural potential, while the Malagasy state views land as the necessary platform for its economic development. This collection presents original research by established and rising scholars across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including Human Genetics, Anthropology and History. Authors focus on land as the pivotal factor underlying the economic, social and religious structures of Malagasy society and its relationship with outsiders, aiming to provide new insights into the issues underlying Madagascar’s ongoing economic and political malaise.

This book is a vivid history of Madagascar from the pre-colonial era to decolonization, examining a set of French colonial projects and perceptions that revolve around issues of power, vulnerability, health, conflict, control and identity. It focuses on three lines of inquiry: the relationship between domination and health fears, the island’s role during the two world wars, and the mystery of Malagasy origins. The Madagascar that emerges is plural and fractured. It is the site of colonial dystopias, grand schemes gone awry, and diverse indigenous reactions. Bringing together deep archival research and recent scholarship, Jennings sheds light on the colonial project in Madagascar, and more broadly, on the ideas which underpin colonialism.
