{"product_id":"truth-in-motion-martin-holbraad-9780226349213","title":"Truth in Motion: The Recursive Anthropology of Cuban Divination","description":"Embarking on an ethnographic journey to the inner barrios of Havana among practitioners of Ifá, a prestigious Afro-Cuban tradition of divination, \u003ci\u003eTruth in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e reevaluates Western ideas about truth in light of the practices and ideas of a wildly different, and highly respected, model. Acutely focusing on Ifá, Martin Holbraad takes the reader inside consultations, initiations, and lively public debates to show how Ifá practitioners see truth as something to be not so much represented, as transformed. Bringing his findings to bear on the discipline of anthropology itself, he recasts the very idea of truth as a matter not only of epistemological divergence but also of ontological difference--the question of truth, he argues, is not simply about how things may \u003ci\u003eappear \u003c\/i\u003edifferently to people, but also about the different ways of imagining what those things \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e. By delving so deeply into Ifá practices, \u003ci\u003eTruth in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e offers cogent new ways of thinking about otherness and how anthropology can navigate it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Holbraad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226349217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226349213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Martin Holbraad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119455531263,"sku":"9780226349213","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e164d43-9dfe-49e1-94ea-c529e28c3d25.jpg?v=1687409449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/truth-in-motion-martin-holbraad-9780226349213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
