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.
