Reviews

What sets [the book] apart - is the study's greatest hook: its approach to the obvious connection between 'little Masoala' in Zurich and the real Masoala in Madagascar. Rather than include discussion of the zoo exhibit in a provocative preamble or epilogue, the author considers it with well-deserved seriousness and care, connecting her extensive study of it to that of the Malagasy communities in which she worked. * Andrew Walsh, University of Western Ontario Keller looks beyond glossy promotions - [Her] analysis is never dry or overly academic, and will be a rewarding read for experts in the field along with those new to the issues. * Nigel Rothfels, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
