"In vivid prose, this breakthrough book portrays howMorocco's Berber women and men - in remote villages andtowns, on radio, and in schools - use language as a keyelement to shape how they 'belong' in Moroccan societytoday and in the process reshape the idea of 'center'and 'periphery'."
Dale F. Eickelman, Dartmouth College
"Katherine Hoffman is a gifted ethnographer and hernuanced account of language, gender, poetry, and place in BerberMorocco resonates with the rich sensory texture of livedexperience. Her chapter on radio is alone worth the price ofadmission - a pioneering work of media ethnography inlinguistic anthropology."
Richard Bauman, Indiana University
"With compassion and intellectual acuity, Hoffman'sstudy of the Berber-speaking Ishelhin of Southern Morocco evokes asociety where the spoken word has molded a deep attachment toplace. Her observations glow with the intensity of livedexperience, distilled from a total immersion in the land, language,and people of this remote region. Using speech, poetry, and song askeys to understanding social process, We Share Wallsrepresents a major contribution to contemporary Moroccan Studiesand to the wider field of ethnolinguistics."
Susan Gilson Miller, Harvard University
"A beautiful and deeply researched ethnography that elucidateshow performance genres like talk, song, and poetry create a senseof place and a particularly Berber (and gendered) response tomodernity."
Deborah Kapchan, The Tisch School of the Arts, New YorkUniversity
"A richly detailed study of the changing politics of language inMorocco. Hoffman deftly shows how Berber women's everyday labourkeeps alive the homeland and mother tongue that are the chargedobjects of migrant men's nostalgia and identity. This is linguisticanthropology at its best, and broadest."
Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University
"At last we have an account of Berber Morocco that probesspace, culture and people in a highly sensitive and eloquent style.Hoffman brings to the forefront a long marginalised language and analmost forgotten community. This is indeed ethnography at its best.Readers will be inspired by the breadth and depth ofHoffman's treatment."
Enam Al-Wer, University of Essex
