Rezensionen
“For those ready and willing to navigate the complexity of What Animals Teach Us about Politics, Massumi is a brilliant thinker who has produced another incisive critique that is likely to elicit interesting scholarship and responses, both from his immediate interlocutors and anyone else looking for a way out of humanity.”
-- Liam Mayes Montreal Review of Books
"[C]omplex, dazzling, and sometimes elusive central essay bolstered by various addenda (propositions, supplements, and lavishly
intricate endnotes) — presents an intensely ratiocinative meditation on how animals play and what that might mean for people."
-- Randy Malamud Common Knowledge
"[A]n active book aimed at establishing a new understanding of politics. It is thus useful for anyone who wants to approach politics from a new perspective, one that does not limit the political to that which is already given, but one that opens politics up to creative potentialities and affectivity."
-- Colleen Harmer Limina
"At a moment when animality, and the animality of the human, has become one of the major themes of contemporary theory, Massumi’s book makes a major intervention."
-- Nathan Snaza Symploke
