"It is highly recommended to all and Wiley-Blackwell should bepersuaded to circulate a reasonably priced paper editionimmediately." (American Ethnologist, 16 February2014) "Insightful, detailed, and substantial, this book has muchto say to students of language and followers of politics, not tomention those of us passionate about both and how theyinteract." - Virginia R. Dominguez, Gutgsell Professor, University ofIllinois at Urbana-Champaign "Why don't more people write books like this? JenniferJackson's brilliant insights on Malagasy cartooning, oratory, andpolitical culture are not only a breath of fresh air for theanthropological study of political language, but a genuinelycreative contribution to the study of globaldemocracy." - David Graeber, Goldsmiths, University of London
