Media Reviews
“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 lavishlyintricate 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)
