"Larson's book raises a series of challenging questions about the
historical production of ethnic identity, and the complex
epistemological relationships between historical memory, identity,
and history. It is smart, well written, and intellectually
challenging. In the historiographical level, Larson succeeds in
integrating Malagasy history into the mainstream history of the
continent."-Richard Roberts, Department of History, Stanford
University
