Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antananarivo Annual and Madagascar Magazine, 1893, Vol. 5: A Record of Information on the Topography and Natural Productions of Madagascar, and the Customs, Traditions, Language, and Religious Beliefs of Its People; No. XVII-Christmas (Part I) Perhaps my experience has been exceptional and unfortunate average village life may not be so faulty as it has seemed to me, and something may be due to morbid perceptions in the Observer. I Sincerely hope it may be so. In order to secure as clear an arrangement of the subject as possible, the matter will be thrown under two main divisions, namely, Domestic Relations, and Social Conditions. I. - domestic relations. The romance of Malagasy courtship in an almost invisible quantity. Many unnatural mothers, for reasons known to themselves, encourage their children in immorality from a early age; thus the bloom of innocence is destroyed, and many are doomed to disease and childlessness. Also, it is common for young couples to cohabit previous to marriage, in order, it is said, to test compatibility of temper and constitution. At the end of six months or a year, the man sometimes comes to the unreasonable conclusion that there is not sufficient ground of agreement, and seeks some one more to his fancy. Many Malagasy daughters are subject ed to this treatment: they go on trial with the prospect of marriage, but with the understood possibility of rejection. Others again, to preserve more semblance of respectability, conform to the old marriage custom, which is, however, no longer binding, and thus evade the element of permanence in their union. One damsel, by this provisional and contingent arrangement, has been led to seven successive homes. The parties most closely concerned are generally allowed no option in the matter. Their partners for life are arbitrarily Chosen by the parents and kinsfolk, and the contract is often made While they are mere children. The main consideration is to keep family property intact, for which reason near relations most frequently intermarry. Should there be no one in any wise eligible, the daughter is made over to the most wealthy suitor, irrespective of age, character or appearance. Hence there are found some most incongruous matches. Personal predilections or previous attachments are overruled and ignored. A woman on her deathbed directed her husband, who was overfifty years of age, to wed his granddaughter (by marriage), A girl of fifteen, the motive being to prevent the property becom ing separated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antananarivo Annual and Madagascar Magazine, Vol. 4: 1889-1892 Another caterpillar of a Bombyx feeds on the Eucalyptus (red), geranium, and a native shrub, and nothing else, and will readily change from one to the other. What is there in common between such dissimilar plants? There is a great field Open for investigation here, and one in which, after three years' careful study, I have myself made no progress. Some moths will lay their eggs on a wall near which at least ten different kinds of plants grow, all equally remote from the eggs. As soon as the young are hatched, instinct leads them to one, and one only, of these ten bushes. I have taken the eggs and put them so that there was no plant on which they commonly fed near. The young when hatched wandered helplessly about and perished. There are many caterpillars which will eat anything, more especially the hairy kinds, but very many are most exclusive.

Download or read book Perceptions and Representations of the Malagasy Environment Across Cultures written by Frank Muttenzer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the history and impact of environmental change in Madagascar. Drawing on interdisciplinary, ethnographic methodologies, the book presents local and global perspectives on current environmental changes and their drivers, from mining to development and deforestation. The book emphasizes the embeddedness of Malagasy peoples’ social relationships with the natural environment, and contrasts this with the way the Malagasy environment is viewed by international conservation organizations. Through the presentation of concrete case studies, the contributors assess the current controversy over the history and nature of human impact on the environment in Madagascar, and offer innovatory insights into how these controversies, which plague current policy making, can be settled.
