Product Description
Synopsis
The peoples of Madagascar are renowned for the prominence they give to the dead. In this volume, regional specialists reassess the significance of ancestors for changing relations of power, emerging identities, and local historical consciousness. Case-studies include the Royal Bath of 1817 (Pier Larson), succession in an urbanized Sakalava kingdom (Lesley Sharp), the Antankarana ritual cycle (Michael Lambek, Andrew Walsh), 19th-century Norwegian missionary culture (Karina Hestad Skeie), sacrifice on the East Coast (Jennifer Cole), violence among the Zafimaniry (Maurice Bloch), and circumcision and colonialism in the South (Karen Middleton). Three further chapters present original research on slavery, memory, and cultural politics in the Highlands (Sandra Evers, David Graeber, Francoise Raison-Jourde).
