  [ EN ] The holist vision which developed during the XIXth century concerning the ancient Merina society has concealed the part played by people taking the lead in social competition without the traditional assets of a family name, of seniority or of wealth. Three means of promotion are well known of this kind of men : slave trade and overseas trade which bring money, they use of new skills taught by the missionary workers of the London Missionary Society and by Jean Laborde, and last of all, the intercourse with all missionaries, the experience of being a unique person whose name was to be mentioned in letters and books by them. These different ways towards social fame succeed in producing a new respected identity only with the sanction of the state. The killing of the Menamaso, a group of dissident Malagasy engineers, and the prohibition of any publication concerning the dissident Christians and their activities during the period of persecutions give us an idea of the narrow space of liberty enjoyed by individuals. The best way towards self-determination was a military career in the shadow of the Prime Minister and chief of the army. The best way also not to be exposed to the danger of jealousy, which a brilliant career could inside the family or foko.

  [ MLA ] Ilay fomba fijery faobe ny fiaraha-monina izay nahazo vahana tamin’ny taonjato faha-19 dia tsy nahatsapana ny fiezahana manokana sy ny fitiavana hifaninana teo amin’ireny olona tafasondrotra teo amin’ny fiaraha-monina ireny – dia ireo izay tsy nandova na anarana, na toeram-pizokiana na harena. Toe-javatra telo no fototr’izany fisondrotana izany tamin’ny taonjato faha-19 : ny fangoronan-karena tamin’ny fivarotana andevo sy tamin’ny varotra any ivelany, ny fahaizana ny teknolojia vaovao avy amin’ireo misioneran’ny LMS mahay taozavatra sy i Jean Laborde nifanerasera taminy, ary farany taty aoriana, ny fitarihan’ny misionera ny olona hanana fomba fifandraisana vaovao dia fifandraisana nanasongadina ny maha-izy azy ny tsirairay avy ; manampy an’izany ny firaketana ny anarana ao amin’ny asa sora-tanana sy ao amin’ny sora-printy. Tsy hahova olona ka hanondrotra azy anefa ireo toe-javatra ireo raha tsy efa eken’ny fitondrana. Naringana avokoa ny andian’ny Menamaso “injeniera” teratany, tsy azo navoaka izay lahatsoratra rehetra nitantara ny fanenjehana ny kristiana tsy miray hevitra amin’ny fitondrana : ireny rehetra ireny dia manaporofo fa tena voafetra ny fahalalana ananan’ny tsirairay avy. Ny raharaha miaramila eo ambanin’ny fifehezan’ny Praiminisitra sy Komandy ambony ihany no ananana fahalalahana sy ahafahana miaro tena amin’ny fialonana aterak’izany ao amin’ny fianakaviambe sy ny foko.
