Abstract
We have been waiting for a long time for a complete study in English of the works of Malagasy poet Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo (1903-37), and Moradewun Adejunmobi has not disappointed us. Rabearivelo is virtually unknown on this side of the Atlantic; I would even venture to say that he is little known in the anglophone world. By publishing his study in English, Adejunmobi not only does justice to this great Malagasy writer (doubtlessly Madagascar's greatest), but this tribute, though a little late, also coincides with the anniversary of the ceremonies commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the tragic death of this poet from the "Great Island." The work contains four chapters, of which three are devoted to the works of Rabearivelo. In all, Adejunmobi shows us—in order—the poet, the playwright, and novelist, and finally the translator.
