Review Quotes:
"From snorkel fins to worn sneakers, drip torches, boats, dogsleds, and the hooves of a horse, Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene is a bold essay collection that pays attention to the ambulatory prosthetics that we wear or carry into particular fields (ocean, forest, savannah, university) and their many histories--material, colonial, multispecies. Situated knowledge has found its footing."--Melody Jue, author of Wild Blue Media: Thinking Through Seawater
"Explicitly cross-disciplinary, [Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene] will be of wide interest to colleges and universities with larger libraries."--CHOICE
"Where [Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene] really shines--and offers something new--is in its ethical and political imperative to develop novel methodologies to understand our current moment."--H-Net Reviews
"Undoubtedly, [Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene] ought to be of great interest to scholars of research methods, particularly anthropological fieldwork in multispecies worlds in the Anthropocene." --American Ethnologist
