Description: Marilyn Strathern provides a critical account of anthropology's key concept of relation and its usage and significance in the English-speaking world, showing how its evolving use over the last three centuries reflects changing thinking about knowledge-making and kin-making.
Review Quotes: "Relations is an event in Strathern's own sense: fresh evidence of the capacity to relate, which gains and adds dimensions in time.... Please read Relations... it holds the promise that you and I--we--will never be the same."--Ashley Lebner "American Ethnologist"
