| Summary: | Drawing on fieldwork done 1971-1973 and archival work done later, anthropologist Feeley-Harnick traces the impact of French domination through the colonial period and into the years after official Malagasy independence in 1960. She documents how the people of northwest Madagascar have reasserted their ownership of the land and reclaimed their heritage through the ritual reburial of a king who died at the height of the colonial era.
