<font color="black">“This volume proves that Western and Indigenous </font>ontologies and epistemologies exist not only in conversation, but also potentially merge into new methodologies. Radical, innovative, and thought-provoking, <i>The Performative Power
of Vocality </i>would be valuable to both researchers and artist-scholars committed to the decolonization of vocality, and it will serve as an important model for a new way forward in the field of voice studies.” Shannon Holmes, <i>Voice and Speech Review </i>(VASTA)</div>

<font color="black">“</font><font color="black">Magnat</font><font color="#050505">’s compelling writing style and interdisciplinary experience brings performance studies, cultural anthropology and Indigenous epistemologies and methodologies into conversation.
This makes </font><font color="black"><i>The Performative Power of Vocality</i></font><font color="black"> a gratifying and indispensable read to an abundance of audiences outside of performance scholarship. The foundation laid by Magnat regarding the implementation
of reciprocity when working with Indigenous community members and prioritizing previously discredited systems of knowledge will change the way the reader understands performance and approaches to </font>decolonization.” Jaime Meier,<i> Performance Research</i></div>
