Reviews

Bahun and Radunovi? have put together an exciting and stimulating volume, which tackles the complex question of how language and our humanity intersect from an extraordinary range of positions. The essays are provocative and exploratory and they range from discussions of constitution-making and cosmopolitanism to analyses of Helen Keller and Cain and Abel. An important contribution to current debates.'Ken Hirschkop, University of Waterloo, Canada'By examining the intricate connections between language and ideology and by investigating the place of language as ideology, Language, Ideology, and the Human artfully brings together a wide-ranging field of disciplines: from philosophy to philology, linguistics, political science, psychoanalysis and cultural studies. The invigorating analyses and the refreshing perspectives that it offers are bound to make it an indispensable text.'Marinos Pourgouris, University of Cyprus, Cyprus'This is a well-rounded collection that will appeal to both Humanities and Social Sciences. It does not merely take part in the debate on language and ideology but goes some way in setting the agenda as well.' Angie Voela, University of East London, UK
