Land Rights Among Subsistence Farmers: An Examination of Madagascar’s Land Reform and Prevailing Systems of Land Tenure in Betafo ! ! ! ! Taylor Crowl Academic Advisor: Reine Razafimahefa Academic Director: Roland Pritchett Fall 2014 ! Abstract In Madagascar, legal systems of land tenure have been inaccessible for the vast majority of the rural population. This has stranded millions of subsistence farmers in a sense of insecurity, as they lack legal rights for the property that they have farmed for generations. Madagascar’s land reform, launched in 2005, attempted to change these exclusionary tenure practices.

The capital Antananarivo has been particularly affected by geo-hydrological risks in the last years, with special regards to the March 2015 event, when cyclones triggered diffuse flooding and landslides causing damages, casualties and over 20000 evacuees. Antananarivo area is characterized by the most important historical and cultural heritages in Madagascar, such as the ancient fortifications and palaces at Ambohimanga (located just 20 km north of the town area), protected as an UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001, and the Rova of Antananarivo royal palace complex. Antananarivo was called Analamanga (the "blue forest"), until 1610, when the merina King Andrianjaka built his palace on the highest hill of the city, and built the first Rova (meaning “fort” in Malagasy) to post a garrison of 1000 man.

RUSKIN HOUSE, 40 MUSEUM STREET, W.C. 1 First published in 1914 {All rights reset'lled) Printed in Great Britain hy UNWtN BROTHltRS, LIMITED, THE GRESHAM PRESS, LONDON AJfD WOKING PREFACE Tms is not my first book about Madagascar, but none of the dozen or so, large and small, which I have already written, take up exactly the points which form the chief subjects of the following pages, nor do any of the books written by some of my brother missionaries. I believe, therefore, that the facts here given will be con&idered interesting, and as throwing light, not only on Christian and Church life among the Malagasy people, but also as a slight contribution to a wider history of missionary effort as a whole during the past fifty or sixty years. The year 1920 was the hundredth anniversary of the commencement of Christian work in the great African island ; and its history during the past century is another proof that the Gospel is still " the power of God unto salvation " wherever it is faithfully proclaimed. I have had the singular privilege and joy of being allowed to labour in and for Madagascar for fifty-two years, and again in this country for more than eight years, so I hope that this record of some of my experiences during that long period may not be unacceptable to those who are doing their part in sending and taking the Gospel message to the unenlightened nations of the world.

  • Female Realm in the Nineteenth Century in Imerina Madagascar”
    UNIVERSITE D’ANTANANARIVO FACULTE DES LETTRES ET SCIENCES HUMAINES DEPARTEMENT D’ETUDES ANGLOPHONES MENTION EPDLE CIVILISATION GENDERING MONARCHY: FEMALE REALM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY IN IMERINA MADAGASCAR Pour l’obtention du Diplôme de Master II Date de soutenance : 11 Avril 2019 FARANIRINA Zoée Brina Directeur de recherches : Professeur Claude FÉRAL 2017-2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the people who helped to bring this dissertation to fruition. I owe much to my supervisor, Professor Claude Féral, for the useful comments and remarks she provided to my work from the first draft to the latest version and my co-supervisor Mr Ramandimbilahatra Mox for his encouragement and guidance in the adoption of the historical approach of my research. I would like to thank as well Professor Casey Woodling for the helpful comments and suggestions he offered. I am so grateful to my parents who, despite the distances between us, kept careful watch over me and looked forward for seeing the completion of this work and my brothers who took the time to ask my progress. Finally, this dissertation would not have been possible without my friends, for their comments and encouragement. i ABSTRACT Giving an insight into female monarchy in Imerina “central highlands of Madagascar”, this dissertation shows how the succession of four women on the throne throughout the nineteenth century altered the political scene in Imerina; how gender was interrelated with the exercise of monarchical power. Case studies of the queens are provided alongside perspectives on female monarchy, evolving around the link between gender, marriage and succession in their queenly experiences.

  • Cultes De Possession Dans La Plaine De Tananarive
    CULTES DE POSSESSION DANS LA PLAIME DE TANANARIVE par R. CABANES Pour apprécier les développements actuels des cultes de possession rendus aux ancêtres royaux, sur le lieu même qui fut le berceau de la monarchie merina, il a paru utile de les replacer dans le contexte d’ensemble des représentations ancestra- les, qu’elles se manifestent sous la forme organisée d’un culte communautaire au. niveau du village ou sous la forme simple de l’idéologie telle ,qu’elle surgit dans les conversations quotidiennes. I1 nous semble, en effet, que la forme strictement indi- viduelle du culte de possession - qu’on peut considérer comme une forme très intense de la relation avec l’ancêtre - autorise un libre développement des représen- tations et une plus grande latitude dans l’interprétation du rôle des ancêtres. On tentera d’abord d’illustrer, en prenant des exemples dans le village de Namehana, à douze kilomètres de Tananarive, le rôle contradictoire joué par les ancêtres à divers niveaux : au niveau local (personnage de l’ancêtre fondateur) ; au niveau individuel (1’ (tange gardien))), au niveau des divers groupes en conflit dans le village, enfin au niveau officiel, tel que les responsables du culte le conçoivent. Après la description de ces manipulations diverses, I’étude de la relation de possession individuelle, qui se déroule dans le contexte sacré d’une cérémonie, fait l’objet d’une deuxième partie. Ces cérémonies peuvent être abordées par de .multi- ples biais : religieux, symboliques, psychopathologiques ou sociologiques. On s’in- téressera surtout ici à l’aspect formel des cérémonies, non au sens de rituel, mais au sens oÙ la cérémonie constitue en elle-même une forme d’organisation sociale et de rapports sociaux.

PRÉFACE Un des reproches les plus justes que l'on peut faire à l'ancienne politique coloniale française est d'avoir négligé les institutions de base traditionnelles au profit d'un système d'administration directe. On ne trouvait rien de comparable outre-mer (au moins dans les textes) à l'autonomie de nos communes et de nos départements. En fait, dans l'Afrique conti­ nentale, de larges pans des anciens édifices politiques s,ubsistaient: lignages, tribus, associations, chefferies, Etats, qui maintenaient, en sous-ordre, une vie insti­ tutionnelle non négligeable, avec des habitudes de commandement, d'équilibre et de discussion.
