After Ethnos

“After Ethnos is full of frame-shifting insights about the relation of anthropology to its methods, of revelatory rhetorical gambits about how we might think about the field in ways different from our received histories, of gentle but powerful exposés of anthropology’s dearest disciplinary clichés, and of provocative pointers to possible intellectual and political futures for sociocultural inquiry. A book with which to agree and disagree in unexpected and always stimulating ways.” - Stefan Helmreich, author of Sounding the Limits of Life: Essays in the Anthropology of Biology and Beyond

“Fascinating, deliberately provocative, and brilliant, After Ethnos is a field changer: it is one of those rare books that can grasp and shift a discipline." - Miriam Ticktin, author of Casualties of Care: Immigration and the Politics of Humanitarianism in France

"After Ethnos is a provocative, even necessary book. The questions it poses will not be answered any time soon, but they will stimulate new ways of thinking about the world and the field, and Rees’s work will be a necessary reference to imagine—and, I hope, build—these new approaches." - Rodrigo Moulinie, E3W Review of Books

"After Ethnos is admirable in that it reveals the fallacy of a positivist mode of anthropology that deals with fieldwork data as 'facts' and which posits different moral values or ontologies as the basis for research." - Shaheed Tayob, Allegra Lab
