Anthropologists, area specialists, and historians explore the significance of ancestors for changing relations of power, emerging identities, and local historical consciousness in the African island culture where the people are renowned for the prominence they give to the dead. The case studies include the royal bath of 1817, succession in an urbanized Sakalava kingdom, the Antakarana ritual cycle, 19th-century Norwegian missionary culture, sacrifice on the east coast, violence among the Zafimaniry, and circumcision and colonialism in the south. Other studies look at slavery, memory, and cultural politics in the highlands. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
