Mannoni ignores Malagasy historical change. [fact]

After having sealed the Malagasy into his own customs, after having evolved a unilateral analysis of his view of the world, after having described the Malagasy within a closed circle, after having noted that the Malagasy has a dependency relation toward his ancestors–a strong tribal characteristic–M. Mannoni, in defiance of all objectivity, applies his conclusions to a bilateral totality–deliberately ignoring the fact that, since Galliéni, the Malagasy has ceased to exist.
