Review :
'a great read for anthropologists and other social scientists, both junior and senior, with interests in how daily objects in our lives connect with the relations we have and make.' Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale 'Throughout the collection, issues related to refugees, indigenous culture, practices religions, environment, networks and markets, technologies, family relationships, memory and many other complex, transversal, mixed themes that are so present in social reality. The book is, in itself, made of the intertwining of knowledge and research interests stimulated by a constant movement of things and ideas that link and, therefore, also mobilize us as subjects in affections and broader relationships, close and remote, shuffling our temporalities and our interests of research around constant change.' Campos
