Jackson traces the lively skirmishes between Madagascar's political cartoonists and
politicians whose cartooning and public oratory reveal an ever-shifting barometer
of democracy in the island nation. It is the first anthropological study of the role
of language and rhetoric in reshaping democracy and maps the dynamic relationship
between formalized oratory, satire, and political change in Madagascar
