“This book is excellent. It is clearly and evocatively written, incisively argued and empirically rich. This is truly an ethnographic tour de force!” • Matei Candea, University of Cambridge“This book is a fascinating ethnographic account of the ways in which political critique functions in everyday life, rather than only in the pages of academic texts. It makes an innovative and compelling set of arguments … and should constitute an important intervention in the literature on political anthropology.” • Paolo Heywood, Durham University
