Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X. TRUE STORIES OF MALAGASY CHILDREN. I.--A Story of the Persecutions. (Translated from a native account.) DURING the reign of Queen Rab6donandrianampoinimerina, a public proclamation was made that all the Christians, or ' praying people, ' as they were called, should accuse themselves to the government, and 'those who do not report themselves, ' said the word of the Queen, 'but whom I hear of from others, I shall consider as guilty.' When the time appointed in the Queen's proclamation arrived, an immense crowd of people assembled at Analakely, a plain to the north-west of the capital. Many of those who had professed Christianity came to report themselves, and some of the great officers of State were sent down by the Queen to hear their statements. Then those who were to accuse themselves came forward one by one, and some of them cursed and swore that they would not pray any more to that Jehovah, 'ancestor of the white men, ' and the majority of them professed that they would discontinue the praying altogether. At last a beautiful young girl came forward, who was the only daughter of her father and mother. When the chief of the Queen's officers saw her, he said: 'Tell me, girl: what do you mean by praying to these ancestors of the white men?' The child looked up at him and replied: 'When I look at your bloodshot eyes' (for the officer was a drunkard) ' and fierce countenance, and hear your dreadful voice, you would expect that I should tremble and have nothing to answer you, but give way at once; but look you, now you are sitting in judgment on me, but hereafter both you and I will be judged by Jesus Christ; now your eyes are red and terrible-looking, and every one who sees you is afraid, but I tell you that hereafter you will be

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe children in Madagascar rejoice in life's natural gifts--singing, working in the fields, helping their parents, and playing with lizards. Divided into three sections: "We Live!," "We Grow!" and "We Feel!," Torina's World: A Child's Life in Madagascar offers a glimpse into daily life in a Malagasy village, and encourages children in Western cultures to examine and reflect on life in a developing country. Ten years ago, author and photographer Joni Kabana spent a month in Madagascar. Her intention was to bring back images for her children showing how other children live. Torina, an eight-year-old Malagasy girl, acted as Joni's guide into this world. Back home, Joni's nine-year-old son, Benjamin Opsahl, helped edit the images and added simple, yet profound text that will engage readers across the world. Torina is now eighteen. She still lives in a small hut with her mother, father and six brothers. Her desire to further her education has been hindered by a lack of financial resources, thus a portion of the proceeds from book sales will provide funding for her education as well as other educational activities in Madagascar. Celebrate diversity with Torina's World, and join with readers young and old in embracing a multi-cultural perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first comprehensive economic history of pre-colonial Madagascar, this study examines the island's role from 1750 to 1895 in the context of a burgeoning international economy and the rise of modern European imperialism. This study reveals that the Merina of the Central Highlands attempted to found an island empire and through the exploitation of its human and natural resources build the economic and military might to challenge British and French pretensions in the region. Ultimately, the Merina failed due to imperial forced labour policies and natural disasters, the nefarious consequences of which (disease; depopulation; ethnic enmity) have in traditional histories been imputed external capitalist and French colonial policies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first comprehensive history of German youth in the First World War, this book investigates the dawn of the great era of mobilizing teenagers and schoolchildren for experiments in state-building and extreme political movements like fascism and communism. It investigates how German teachers could be legendary for their sarcasm and harsh methods but support the world’s most vigorous school reform movement and most extensive network of youth clubs. As a result of the war mobilization, teachers, club leaders, and authors of youth literature instilled militarism and nationalism more deeply into young people than before 1914 but in a way that, paradoxically, relaxed discipline. In Youth in the Fatherless Land, Andrew Donson details how Germany had far more military youth companies than other nations—as well as the world’s largest Socialist youth organization, which illegally agitated for peace and a proletarian revolution. Mass conscription also empowered female youth, particularly in Germany’s middle-class youth movement, the only one anywhere that fundamentally pitted itself against adults. Donson addresses discourses as well as practices and covers a breadth of topics, including crime, work, sexuality, gender, family, politics, recreation, novels and magazines, social class, and everyday life.
