Synopsis
Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world. It is a unique blend of Asia and African culture. Although close to the East Coast of Africa, Madagascar came to be inhabited by sea-faring peoples from present day Indonesia. Although so close to the east coast of Africa where traces of human existence go back hundreds of thousands years, Madagascar was uninhabited until about two thousand years ago. How it came to be inhabited by sea-faring peoples from present day Indonesia is just one of the many fascinating aspects of this book. The History of Madagascar examines the origins of Malagasy, the early context with Europeans and the struggle for influence in the nineteenth century between the British and the French. It also covers the Colonial period from 1896 to 1960, the recovery of independence and subsequent history up to the early 1990's. A highly readable, entertaining introduction to the history, politics and people of Madagascar."

As an american who resides in Madagascar, this is my favorite book.
3. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I have been living in Madagascar for the last four years. I have read this book cover to cover three times and page through it at least once a month. It is an incredibly dense book that seems to magically sprout new facts and information each time I open it.
The book is a must have for anyone living, working, or visiting madagascar. You will never see the country and it's people the same way after reading this. If you think the Malagasy are an impoverished people victimized by french oppression and unfortunate circumstances, or if you think that they are just another african people will typical african problems, you will change your mind after reading this book. The history of Madagascar is exciting, strange, inspiring, and fantastic. I only wish that it could be translated into Malagasy and taught in schools as many of the facts contained in it are completely unknown to most Malagasy.

Mervyn Brown's superb book left me blown away by the detailed history full of color. I now understand better the current reality of Malagasy politics.
The History of Madagascar is a book that inspired some of the writing of my forthcoming book THE MONFORT PLAN. Mervyn is a real insider and an unbiased agent able to assess with independence the reality of the world's fourth largest island with a historical perspective unchallenged thus far. A must read for anybody interested in Madagascar.
