Recenzje

'This book provides a convincing answer to the riddle of Madagascar, a poor country despite its many assets. Madagascar's misfortune has its roots in a hierarchical, atomized society whose secular immobilism is marked by brief surges of hope repeatedly dashed by ruinous political and economic crises.' Jean Fremigacci, University of Tananarive
