"This volume is successful is in transforming the problem of
evidence into a productive inquiry." (Journal of the Royal
Anthropological Institute, January 2011)
‘A satisfyingly complex and lucid collection, these essays are ordered to create a ripple effect of themes and arguments that emerge as related, overlapping and contingent to one another - a nice reflection on the substance of the authors' concerns with evidence. Compulsive, not just imperative, reading for anyone engaged with the analysis of field materials.'
Marilyn Strathern, Girton College, University of Cambridge

'Objects of Evidence provides signal advances to thinking
about two topics of fundamental importance, namely the anthropology
of epistemology - how people make claims to knowledge - and the
epistemology of anthropology - the claims on which anthropological
knowledge rests.'
Michael Lambek, University of Toronto
