"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.'

'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
