The institutions of higher-level education founded by British missionaries in 19th-century Madagascar were concentrated in Antananarivo, in the Ambohijatovo district of the upper town. Young people from town and country received instruction in religious matters as well as more specialised teaching geared towards science, medicine, literature, economics and geography and, in consequence, developed an awareness of the major issues of the day. As they lived at a time marked by French threats and even by war with France (1883–85), their representations were profoundly influenced by the uncertainties overshadowing their nation’s future. Inspired by their teachers, the most dynamic founded associations that engaged in solidarity activities, while others, such as Ramaherilanja, committed their ideas to paper – ideas that, in the name of fihavanana, called for solidarity between the islanders to avert the mounting threat of colonisation.

年轻的梅里纳精英面临 1880 年代的不确定性:岛屿团结作为答案?

英国传教士在 19 世纪马达加斯加建立的高等教育机构集中在塔那那利佛上城安博希亚托沃区。来自城乡的年轻人接受了有关宗教事务的指导,以及针对科学、医学、文学、经济和地理的更专业的教学,因此,他们对当今的重大问题有了认识。由于他们生活在一个充满法国威胁甚至与法国战争(1883-85 年)的时代,他们的表现深受笼罩其国家未来的不确定性的影响。在老师的启发下,最具活力的协会成立了参与团结活动,而其他人,如 Ramaherilanja,则将他们的想法写在纸上——这些想法以fihavanana呼吁岛民之间团结一致,以避免日益严重的殖民威胁。
