This book brings together multidisciplinary research on the
historical, linguistic, anthropological and religious dimensions of
ethnicity in Madagascar. The majority of Madagascans are born, live
and die within their narrowly defined ethnic groups, and yet most
tend to view these sterile and stereotyped identities negatively.
But rather than forming definitive conclusions about ethnicities on
the island, this work intends to open up the debates on collective
identities, as they are expressed and embodied day to day. The
study thus constitutes an indispensable preamble to an examination
of the construction of the Madagascan nation state. Contents: the
origin and character of the Malagasy language; the Marofotsy in the
quest of liberty in the 1820s; language, dialects and ethnicity in
Madagascar; nationalism and ethnicity in the province of Tamatave
1939-1960; and a critical evaluation of the processes of
inculturation in Madagascar. (In French)
