1. Introduction -- I. Health, Power and Vulnerability -- 2. Disease and Conquest -- 3. Rabies and Resistance -- II. The Great Island in Global Conflict, 1914-1945 -- 4. The Black Angel of Antananarivo -- 5. Tyranny in the Wartime Central Highlands -- III. The Mystery of Malagasy Origins -- 6. Writing Madagascar Back into the Madagascar Plan -- 7. Recasting Madagascar: Village Structures, Racial Anthropology, and the Meanings of Cliff Markings.

This book is a vivid history of Madagascar from the pre-colonial era to decolonization, examining a set of French colonial projects and perceptions that revolve around issues of power, vulnerability, health, conflict, control and identity. It focuses on three lines of inquiry: the relationship between domination and health fears, the island's role during the two world wars, and the mystery of Malagasy origins. The Madagascar that emerges is plural and fractured. It is the site of colonial dystopias, grand schemes gone awry, and diverse indigenous reactions. Bringing together deep archival research and recent scholarship, Jennings sheds light on the colonial project in Madagascar, and more broadly, on the ideas which underpin colonialism.
