PBS’ NewsHour posted a link to a photo essay about how rising food prices have hit a small Indonesian town.
Looking at the last picture, I am reminded that it was Indo-Malays who left Indonesia around 1,000 CE, sailed around the Indian Ocean, and decided to colonize Madagascar. The meal that Indonesian family resembles many of the meals I have eaten in and around Ambatondrazaka in 2004, when conducting fieldwork for my dissertation.
