"A fascinating account of rural innovation." * New Scientist * "Readers will appreciate the clarity, warmth and humility of the authorial voice, which makes the book a delightful read. Gonzalez paints an empathetic picture of a community at a moment of profound change. . . . Students and teachers will find this a valuable case study for reflecting on ethnographic realities in the digital age." * PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review * "The case study demonstrates that alternatives to commercial service were possible. However, the community still depended on surrounding infrastructures as well as external technological and legal expertise. Gonzalez's book is a crucial contribution to understanding this." * Technology and Culture * "Connected...offers a succinct, enjoyable, and concrete roadmap for thinking critically about the many faces of Oaxaca and the many paths Oaxacans are forging." * Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos * "Connected is an alluring book for those of us living in the twenty-first century who have never really had to think twice about the media infrastructure we rely on to communicate or what it takes to build it in a remote part of the world." * Current Anthropology *
