Perceptions and Representations of the Malagasy Environment Across Cultures
Perceptions and Representations of the Malagasy Environment Across Cultures
This book examines the history and impact of environmental change in Madagascar and assesses the nature of human impact on the environment of Madagascar
The Madagascar Youths
In 1820, King Radama of Imerina, Madagascar signed a treaty allowing approximately one hundred young Malagasy to train abroad under official British supervision, the so-called 'Madagascar Youths'. In this lively and carefully researched book, Gwyn Campbell traces the Youths' untold history, from the signing of the treaty to their eventual recall to Madagascar. Extensive use of primary sources has enabled Campbell to explore the Madagascar Youths'…

The Indian Ocean World Global Economy in the Context of Human-Environment Interaction, C. 300 BCE–1750
This article explores the rise and development, from about 300 BCE to c. 1750 of an Indian Ocean World ‘global economy’ – a long-distance system of exchange that linked East Africa and the Middle East to South Asia, South-east Asia and East Asia. Focusing on human-environment interaction, Campbell challenges spatial and temporal paradigms based on the conventional beliefs that humans alone are the catalyst of historical change, and that Europeans…

Animal Trade Histories in the Indian Ocean World
The Palgrave Handbook of Bondage and Human Rights in Africa and Asia
This book illuminates the complex relationships between the factors that have produced historical and contemporary forms of bondage and human trafficking across China, South Asia, and East Africa. It offers a major corrective to Eurocentric conceptions of human bondage.
Labour Migration to the French Islands of the Western Indian Ocean, 1830–60
This chapter explores the history of indentured labour migration to the French islands of Réunion, Sainte Marie, Nosy Be, and Mayotte in the period 1830–1860. These islands traditionally used slave labour, but by the late 1820s, British anti-slave trade patrols and political pressure slowed the traffic in slaves. This created a manpower shortage increasingly felt on Réunion due to the rapid rise of the sugar industry between the late 1820s and 18…
Africa and the Indian Ocean World from Early Times to Circa 1900
The history of Africa's historical relationship with the rest of the Indian Ocean world is one of a vibrant exchange that included commodities, people, flora and fauna, ideas, technologies and disease. This connection with the rest of the Indian Ocean world, a macro-region running from Eastern Africa, through the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to East Asia, was also one heavily influenced by environmental factors. In presenting this rich a…

The Role of Kilwa in the Trade of the Western Indian Ocean
Slavery, Forced Labour and Resistance in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia
The study of slavery has grown strongly in recent years, as scholars working in several disciplines have cultivated broader perspectives on enslavement in a wide variety of contexts and settings. Critical Readings on Global Slavery offers students and researchers a rich collection of previously published works by some of the most preeminent scholars in the field. With contributions covering various regions and time periods, this anthology encoura…
Structure of Slavery in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia
The abolition of slavery in and around the Western Indian Ocean have been little studied. This collection examines the meaning of slavery and its abolition in relation to specific indigenous societies and to Islam, a religion that embraced the entire region, and draws comparisons between similar developments in the Atlantic system. Case studies include South Africa, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Benadir Coast, Arabia, the Persian Gulf and India. Thi…
Madagascar and the Slave Trade, 1810–1895
The distinguishing feature of the Malagasy slave trade in the nineteenth century was the co-existence of two competitive slave networks, the one feeding Malagasy slaves to meet the demand of long-distance and regional markets in the western Indian Ocean, and the other channelling Malagasy war captives and East African slaves on to the markets of Imerina. The export of slaves from Madagascar had long existed, but the import of slaves was a new and…
Children in Slavery through the Ages
Significant numbers of the people enslaved throughout world history have been children. The vast literature on slavery has grown to include most of the history of this ubiquitous practice, but nearly all of it concentrates on the adult males whose strong bodies and laboring capacities preoccupied the masters of the modern Americas. Children in Slavery through the Ages examines the children among the enslaved across a significant range of earlier …
Slavery and Fanompoana
A recent school of historical thought has emerged, centred around the writings of Maurice Bloch, which asserts that the imperial Merina economy from the early nineteenth century became totally dependent upon slave labour. It claims that there was such an influx of slaves into Imerina that slave numbers rose dramatically and all free Merina were relieved from productive work to engage in essentially non-productive occupations, notably the military…

The Adoption of Autarky in Imperial Madagascar, 1820–1835
Traditionally, historians have viewed Queen Ranavalona I as being responsible for inaugurating an autarkic policy in Madagascar. Her expulsion of most foreigners from the country in 1835 is seen primarily as a reflection of her conservative and xenophobic attitudes. In this she is contrasted with her predecessor, Radama I, who is viewed as an enlightened and progressive monarch who, through wise domestic policies and an alliance with the British …
Labour and the transport problem in imperial Madagascar, 1810–1895
The absolute dependence upon human labour for the transport of goods and travellers in nineteenth-century Madagascar can only be understood in terms of the peculiar nature of the imperial Merina structure. A justifiable fear of European attack and takeover led the Merina regime to rely on ‘Generals “Hazo” and “Tazo”’ (forest and fever) and an underdeveloped road network to hinder and ultimately prevent any foreign military force reaching the cent…

The State and Pre-Colonial Demographic History
This paper analyses the demography of nineteenth-century Madagascar in the light of the debate generated by the demographic transition theory. Both supporters and critics of the theory hold to an intrinsic opposition between human and ‘natural’ factors, such as climate, famine and disease, influencing demography. They also suppose a sharp chronological divide between the pre-colonial and colonial eras, arguing that whereas ‘natural’ demographic i…

Missionaries, fanompoana and the Menalamba revolt in late nineteenth century Madagascar
Historians to date have considered that the Menalamba rebels of 1895–97 were primarily inspired by political and religious grievances. Missionaries were the most overt symbol of the attack by Western civilisation on traditional virtues which they wished to restore. However, the traditional interpretation fails both to account for rank and file, rather than elite, rebel motives, and to recognise the major role played by the state‐church in fomenti…
"David Griffiths and the Missionary "History of Madagascar
In 1838, William Ellis of the LMS published a History of Madagascar considered a key primary source for nineteenth-century Malagasy history. Four years later, David Griffiths, longest serving member of the Madagascar Mission, published Hanes Madagascar (History of Madagascar) in Welsh. Campbell's study explores the intriguing relationship between these works and their authors. It analyses the role of Griffiths; presents evidence that much of Elli…

Resisting Bondage in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia
Resisting Bondage in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia is the companion volume to Slavery and Resistance in Africa and Asia which was published by Routledge in 2005. This second volume, as implied by the title, recognizes the complexity of forms of bondage in the Indian Ocean world - incorporating regions running from East Africa to the Middle East, to South and Southeast Asia to the Far East - and of resistance to them. Slavery, in the conventional s…

Ancestors, Power and History in Madagascar
The peoples of Madagascar are renowned for the prominence they give to the dead. In this edited 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 Antankaraia Ritual Cycle (Michael Lambek, Andrew Walsh), Nineteenth-Centu…
Animal Trade Histories in the Indian Ocean World
Africa, the Indian Ocean World, and the ‘Early Modern
European-inspired scholarship underscores conventional academic consensus that African commercial entrepeneurship disappeared with the European voyages of discovery, and subsequent implantation of the Potuguese, Dutch, English, and French commercial empires. Thus the people of eastern Africa are portrayed largely as technologically backward and isolated from the main currents of global history from about 1500 until the onset of modern European co…

The monetary and financial crisis of the Merina Empire 1810–1826

An industrial experiment in pre-colonial Africa
The last two decades have witnessed a lively debate over the preconditions for industrialisation, and the causes and consequences of the failure to industrialise. This paper attempts to widen the scope of the debate, which has concentrated upon European case studies, to include an industrial experiment in Imerina, a central province of Madagascar, between 1825 and 1861. This occurred in an overwhelmingly rural society, based on irrigated rizicult…

The prospects for an Indian ocean rim (IOR) economic association
An Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) trading bloc, whilst facing major infrastructural and organisational problems, would create the potential for major South‐South economic co‐operation, offering member countries enormous potential benefits through intra‐regional specialisation and economies of scale, and through enhanced leverage vis‐à‐vis powerful existing trading blocs like the EU and NAFTA and international institutions such as the IMF and World Bank. …
‘Out of Africa’
Madagascar, by far the largest of the Indian Ocean islands lying off Africa’s east coast and South Africa, the greatest economic and political power on the African continent, are often characterized as unique in the context of African politics. Observers have fostered the notion that both Madagascar, by virtue of its geography and South Africa, by virtue of its minority government’s pretensions, are somehow ‘outside’ continental African affairs. …
The Cocoa Frontier in Madagascar, the Comoro Islands and Réunion, c. 1820–1970
The western Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, the Comoros and Réunion (see Figure 11.1) in many ways formed an exception amongst world cocoa producers. Not only were they marginal in terms of world output, but cocoa was never more than a minor local cash crop. In 1923, for example, cocoa was only the sixteenth most important agricultural product in Madagascar in terms of area of cultivation. Its 1238 hectares compared unfavourably with 30 045 h…
