Reviews

Emilio Spadola, Colgate University:
Channeling Moroccanness is highly readable and brisk. Schulthies’s intimate descriptions of timely media practices and Moroccans’ discussions of their effects contribute important ethnographic detail on the weaving of technological media into everyday communications and evince her extensive ethnographic labor. This is a vital and compelling book.

Steven Caton, Harvard University:
In Channeling Moroccanness, Becky Schulthies challenges anthropological linguistics by pushing beyond the speech event to different contexts of speaking, listening, and viewing to come up with what she calls a ‘calibration’ of Moroccan sociality. The book is an important and distinctive contribution to the ethnography of Morocco.
