Evers , Gwyn Campbell and Michael Lambek.The Malagasy possess a profound religious, socio-political and economic attachment to land which connects individuals and kinship groups with the ancestors. International stakeholders value Madagascar for its biodiversity, minerals and agricultural potential, while the Malagasy state views land as the necessary platform for its economic development. This collection presents original research by established and rising scholars across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including Human Genetics, Anthropology and History. Authors focus on land as the pivotal factor underlying the economic, social and religious structures of Malagasy society and its relationship with outsiders, aiming to provide new insights into the issues underlying Madagascar’s ongoing economic and political malaise.African social studies series ;v. 31.Land useMadagascarEconomic developmentMadagascarMadagascarSocial conditionsMadagascarEconomic conditionsLand useEconomic development333.7309691Evers Sandra253155Campbell Gwyn1952-290154Lambek Michael144296MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790410903321Contest for land in Madagascar3680179UNINA
