Reviews / Votes
"Anthropology has long been keenly aware of the complicated ethical terrain of fieldwork, knowledge-acquisition and -creation, and the representation, dissemination, and use(s) of that knowledge. The chapters here though are a worthy contribution to that disciplinary self-reflection, which-as a form of knowledge itself-can never be completed or exhausted." ? Anthropology Review Database"Drawing from contexts of migration and biomedicine, this compelling collection offers timely contributions to current debates on the anthropology of knowledge, and tackles the challenging question of knowledge production during fieldwork, primarily in contexts of cultural difference and diversity." ? Astrid Bochow, University of Goettingen
