Reviews
'Bonnin offers us, apart from an outstanding case study, a passionate argument for recognizing a truly authentic Latin American approach to discourse analysis. The lived sociocultural and political experience of intellectuals in a thoroughly complex sociolinguistic area such as Latin America offers readers more than a theoretical and analytical reflection: it also invites us to rethink the geopolitics of voice in a globalized intellectual community.' - Professor Jan Blommaert, Department of Culture Studies, Tilburg University

Bonnin meticulously lives up to the challenge in mapping the interactional/situational nexus of professional-patient encounters on to the sociocultural/political landscape of Argentinian public healthcare delivery. Marking a visible shift from the dominantly available ethnocentric perspective to a desirable ethnographic perspective, the monograph embodies what I consider a robust ethnopolitical `voice' in order to facilitate a critical appraisal of mental healthcare delivery in an immigrant neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. Framed as action-research inclusive of silent diversities/discourses and patients' resistance, it emanates an interventionist spirit, complemented by a wide-ranging but integrated discourse analytical approach informed by long-term fieldwork.' - Srikant Sarangi, Professor in Humanities and Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark; Honorary Professor, Cardiff University, United Kingdom
