Compliance

Will Rollason is a Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at Brunel University London. His research to date has focussed on Papua New Guinea and Rwanda.

“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
