NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR
: There is currently in Madagascar a rich literary production (short
stories, poetry, novels, plays) that has not yet reached the United
States for lack of diffusion outside the country. Until recently
Madagascar suffered from political isolation resulting from its breakup
with France in the 1970s and the eighteen years of Marxism that
followed.
With little hope that their voices would be heard outside the island,
writers nevertheless have continued to express themselves in French
(alongside a literature written in the Malagasy language). Malagasy
literature in French had begun in the colonial era with three
poets : Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo, Jacques Rabemananjara, and
Flavien Ranaivo, all three presented in Léopold Senghor’s
celebrated Anthologie de la nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache (1948).
More recently, although a few Malagasy writers living outside the
country have been published in France, the bulk of Malagasy literature
today has remained largely unpublished, circulating locally mostly in
manuscript form. Voices from Madagascar will bring a wide selection of these texts, both in French and in English, to the North American public.
