N2  - Jackson traces the lively skirmishes between Madagascar's political cartoonists and politicians whose cartooning and public oratory reveal an ever-shifting barometer of democracy in the island nation. It is the first anthropological study of the role of language and rhetoric in reshaping democracy and maps the dynamic relationship between formalized oratory, satire, and political change in Madagascar
