Lewis Henry Morgan
Morgan's The American Beaver and His Works (1868) argued for animals to be understood as living thinking communicating beings. Working in northern Michigan with Ojibwe (Anishinaabeg), Morgan documented beavers' lives in the region Ojibwe called Ish-ko-nau'-ba - 'Many Remnants of Water'. Following their insights, Morgan argued that the 'persevering labors of the beaver' were communicative acts of sentient creatures, expressed in familial works tra…
M organ, L ewis H enry (1818–81)
Lewis Henry Morgan was a lawyer in western New York State who studied Native American history, geography, and culture as an avocation until the mid‐1860s, when he retired on his investments to do research full time. An idealist concerning the role of education and invention in social reform, he eventually repudiated the “property career” he posited as the basis of “modern civilization,” and the root of growing inequity, and advocated a return to …
The Ethnography of Creation
Ravenala MadagascariensisSonnerat
Conservationists in Madagascar emphasize the need to educate local farmers about proper land use, while often ignoring the ideas and practices of expatriate residents in past and present debates about Malagasy ecology. The premise of this article is that we need to study both within the same analytical framework to understand the complexities of social-ecological change in Madagascar. The ravinala or "Traveler's Tree" (Ravenala madagascariensis),…
Communities of Blood
Lewis H. Morgan's Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1871) is credited with inventing the anthropological study of "kinship" from a comparative perspective (Trautmann 1987). Since Émile Durkheim's critique of 1898, Morgan is also said to have reduced kinship to biology in keeping with Anglo-American cultural assumptions about "blood relations" given in nature. Yet, on closer inspection, Morgan's "consanguinity" proves to b…

Issues in Divine Kingship
The Political Economy of Death
The competition for labor associated with the incorporation of the Sakalava of northwestern Madagascar into polities of steadily increasing scale has involved the ongoing reorganization of social relations through the symbolism of death. During the precolonial period Malagasy spoke a common language of ancestors and relics by which to negotiate relations of labor and loyalty. French colonists sought to destroy Malagasy institutions and substitute…
The King's Men in Madagascar
Opening ParagraphThe 'great songs' (antsa maventy) with which Sakalava praise their royalty extol them as unique and precious beings in whom all wealth in persons and things is, or eventually will be, concentrated, causing them to grow enormously and inexhaustibly fat, yet ever greedy for more. Solely because of their ancestry, their houses will be royal residences, their hats will be royal headdresses with special names. Above all, their people …

Pouvoir des vivants, langage des morts: idéo-logiques sakalava. Par Jean-François Baré. Paris: François Maspero, 1977. (Dossiers africains dirigés par Marc Augé et Jean Copans). 144p., tableaux, cartes, bibl. FF25. - Volume 50 Issue 4
Divine Kingship and the Meaning of History Among the Sakalava of Madagascar
Myth and history are not so different as was once thought. People may have different interpretations of the same 'historical facts'. History may therefore be used like myth to support alternative social programmes. Some would even argue that there are no 'historical facts', but only interpretations: that there is no history which is not a purely existential invention, bound to the culture that conceived it. Why should some people have invented hi…
