Ashley Lebner is Assistant Professor of Religion and Culture at Wilfrid Laurier University.<p>
<em>âAshley Lebner's analytic synthesis of Strathernâs work is remarkable, the writing is elegant and the argument is convincing and important. The breadth of the analysis is impressive and allows for a very personal, sensitive, detailed and deep reading of Strathernâs practice to emerge...a tour-de-force!â </em><strong>¡ Emilia Sanabria</strong>, Ăcole Normale SupĂŠrieure de Lyon </p>

<em>âMarilyn Strathern remains one of social anthropology's pre-eminent scholars. Since the book provides a glimpse into the ways in which scholars have fruitfully engaged with Strathern's ideas in a form that does not exist at the present moment, this work will have broad appeal.â </em><strong>¡ Barbara Bodenhorn</strong>, University of Cambridge</p>

<em>âAshley Lebner has assembled an outstanding set of contributors. Marilyn Strathernâs work demands careful reading, and this collection shows us how and why Strathernâs work continues to provoke new conversations.â</em> <strong>¡ Andrew Barry</strong>, University College London</p>

Redescribing Relations brings some of Strathernâs most committed and renowned readers into conversation in her honour â especially on themes she has rarely engaged.

With a comprehensive introduction, a complete list of Strathern's publications and a historic interview published in English for the first time, this is an invaluable resource for Strathernâs old and new interlocutors alike.
