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\u003e differently 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Holbraad \u003c\/b\u003eteaches social anthropology at University College London.
