Raves and Reviews
Exchanging Words should . . . be widely read by people interested in conservation, development, and international relations.--John Walker, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology
Cultural continuity is . . . an underlying theme throughout the book, and Ball does well in addressing the subtleties and complexities of this issue at various points. The structure of the book brings cohesion to the ethnographically rich material.--Jessica Fae Nelson, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology

An insightful contribution to scholarship on language, indigeneity, and development politics.--Zachary Lazarus, Language in Society
As a study of language, ritual, and relation building, the book delivers what it promises. Ball has done a fine job of creating a thread of connection through very disparate subjects, and his authorial voice is very appealing.
