The Many Faces of Sacha Baron Cohen does not skimp on scholarship, style, or wit. Robert A. Saunders 's writing is lively and entertaining and makes a persuasive case for Sacha Baron Cohen as a case study of the complicated negotiations between local and global cultures.--Eliot Borenstein
The Many Faces of Sacha Baron Cohen does not skimp on scholarship, style, or wit. Robert A. Saunders's writing is lively and entertaining and makes a persuasive case for Sacha Baron Cohen as a case study of the complicated negotiations between local and global cultures. -- Eliot Borenstein A must-read for many aspiring satirists, branding experts, and researchers alike... Sacha Baron Cohen, the Kazakhs, and people around the world should be grateful to the author for explaining the Borat saga in a scholarly, yet enlightening and entertaining, manner. -- Roman Vassilenko The Many Faces of Sacha Baron Cohen [is] a smart, informative, and crisply-written little book that may leave the reader wanting a bit more...The Many Faces of Sacha Baron Cohen is a valuable political history of what its author calls a 'global minstrel show'. Southwest Journal Of Cultures Cinema, February 2009 The author displays razor-sharp analysis, masterful use of the English language, and encyclopedic knowledge all the way through the endnotes. This is, by all measures, a superb first book by a very promising writer, and one can only hope that it is followed by many more. Journal Of Global Change and Governance, Summer 2009 A thoroughly detailed exploration of Cohen's explosive comedy. Robert A. Saunders dissects each button pushed, taking an approach that's as careful as Cohen's is improvised. A smart read deserving of a lot of 'respek.' -- Michael Musto The author displays razor-sharp analysis, masterful use of the English language, and encyclopedic knowledge all the way through the endnotes. This is, by all measures, a superb first book by a very promising writer, and one can only hope that it is followed by many more. Journal Of Global Change and Governance, Summer 2009
