520 |a 1. Women’s Revolt, Story and Analysis On April 3, 1822, King Radama, monarch of the Merina kingdom of Madagascar, cut his hair. Before he cut them, Radama had long, intricately woven braids, and his hair had never been cut. The braids of the monarch, and the way in which they were arranged on his head, held political meaning for the Merina people. Madagascar historian Pier Martin Larson notes that the braids on Radama’s head were "divided and organized (into their) proper social and political order", signifying the division and organization of the various status groups of the kingdom.2 Order in the king’s hair was thought to signify order in the kingdom, which would bring fertility. Cutting one’s hair was a sign of subordination. When a king died, the subjects were required to cut their hair to signify that they accepted subordination to the new king. It was "an overt sign of obedience, an enactment of the end of an old order and the beginning of a new one."3 The only people in the kingdom who commonly would be seen with short hair were slaves and condemned criminals.
