Zusammenfassung:Embarking on an ethnographic journey to the inner barrios of Havana among practitioners of If̀, a prestigious Afro-Cuban tradition of divination, Truth in Motion reevaluates Western ideas about truth in light of the practices and ideas of a wildly different, and highly respected, model. Acutely focusing on If̀, Martin Holbraad takes the reader inside consultations, initiations, and lively public debates to show how If̀ practitioners see truth as something to be not so much represented, as transformed. Bringing his findings to bear on the discipline of anthropology itself.
