“There are few books in the field of Anthropology that tackle the issue of compliance as directly as this volume does … The editors have elicited a set of contributions that make significant and varied ethnographic contributions to fields, some of which have hitherto passed under the radar. The contributions are illuminating, topical and interesting.” • Allen Abramson, University College London
