Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Madagascar, Indian Malgache (Khoja) is, in the World System theory, to use the relationship of the "the Centre" and "the outskirts". Khoja had been "Comptoir (mediator)" of United Kingdom and France. Khoja had become active in the Eastern African areas, such as Madagascar in The Age of Imperialism, led by Europe and the United States.
In preceding studies, Africa and Asia has been depicted as the dominated targets from the Modern-Europe. However, it is likely that Eurocentrism will be corrected in the preceding studies of history. In this study, I showed the possibility of a simple history image of the modification of "the Western and the non-Western".
