Book Synopsis
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.Wit

Trade Review
“There is currently a Madagascan boom in literary production—short stories, novels, plays—that has not yet reached the United States. Voices from Madagascar brings a wide selection of these texts, both in French and English, to the North American public for the first time.” * Translation Journal *
“In his helpful introduction, Bourgeacq traces the history of Francophone writing, which began in Madagascar around 1930. Recommended for academic and public libraries, this book will be of interest to scholars of Malagasy culture.” * Library Journal *
