| Abstract: | From the Publisher: Two thousand years ago, the island of Madagascar was likely uninhabited. Its unique flora and fauna had gone totally undisturbed by human contact until the first navigators landed on its shores. No one knows where those first inhabitants hailed from, but over the centuries Madagascar developed its own distinctive language and cultural systems. The only recent history of its kind in English, Madagascar, traces two millennia of human activity in one of the world's most fascinating, yet least-known, societies. In graceful prose, Solofo Randrianja and Stephen Ellis, both leading historians of Madagascar, elucidate the three main phases of its history: the earliest settlements, the age of kingdoms, and the island's entry into intercontinental systems of commerce and exchange, including over sixty years under French rule. Through the course of this colorful and turbulent history, Randrianja and Ellis explore the tensions between the development of a unique culture and the absorption of immigrants, the development of strong social hierarchies, and the long-lasting effects of slavery and the slave trade. |

Two thousand years ago, the island of
Madagascar was likely uninhabited.
Its unique flora and fauna had gone
totally undisturbed by human contact
until the first navigators landed on its
shores. No one knows where those
first inhabitants hailed from, but over
the centuries Madagascar developed
its own distinctive language and cul¬
tural systems. The only recent history
of its kind in English, Madagascar
traces two millennia of human activity
in one of the world s most fascinating,
yet least-known, societies.
In graceful prose, Solofo Randrianja
and Stephen Ellis, both leading
historians of Madagascar, elucidate
the three main phases of its history:
the earliest settlements, the age of
kingdoms, and the island s entry into
intercontinental systems of commerce
and exchange, including over sixty
years under French rule. Through the
course of this colorful and turbulent
history, Randrianja and Ellis explore
the tensions between the formation
of a unique culture and the absorp¬
tion of immigrants, the development
of strong social hierarchies, and the
SOLOFO RANDRIANJA is professor
of history at the University of foamasina,
Madagascar, and the author of several
books. STEPHEN ELLIS is main
researcher in the History Department at
the University of Leiden.
