This innovative study marries two very divergent sources of knowledge historical documentation from the era of the slave trade with the narratives of remembrance of ancestors from the present to reveal a compelling story that links Madagascar with colonial North America and the struggles of the descendants of Malagasy immigrants to retain an identity that was endangered through slavery.
