DESCRIPTION:The legacy of slavery is a crucial social issue in some\, if n
 ot all\, Malagasy societies. To understand why this is the case\, I argue 
 that we need to analyze the nature and impact of the 1896 colonial aboliti
 on in Madagascar. Using as an example the case of the Betsileo\, a Malagas
 y group inhabiting the southern central highlands\, I suggest that colonia
 l abolition has had unintended and often overlooked consequences. For most
  Betsileo\, the abolition decree did not have the power of precolonial cle
 ansing rituals\, which were performed at the time of manumission and used 
 to reintegrate former slaves into a network of kinsmen or\, at the very le
 ast\, into the wider society of ‘free’ and ‘clean’ men and women. 
 Since these powerful rituals did not take place\, the slaves who were libe
 rated by the French could not be cleansed and reintegrated into free socie
 ty.
