Fakes, forgery, counterfeits, hoaxes, bullshit, frauds, knock offs-such terms speak, ostensibly, to the inverse of truth or the obverse of authenticity and sincerity. But what does the modern human obsession with fabrications and frauds tell us about ourselves? And what can anthropology tell us about this obsession? This timely book is the product of the first Annual Debate of Anthropological Keywords, a collaborative project between HAU, the American Ethnological Society, and L'Homme, held each year at the American Anthropological Association Meetings. The aim of the debate is reflect critically on keywords and terms that play a pivotal and timely role in discussions of different cultures and societies, and of the relations between them. This book, with multiple authors, explodes open our common sense notions of "novelty," "originality," and "truth," questioning how cultures where deception and mistrust flourish seem to produce effective, albeit opaque, forms of sociality.

Revolution Beyond the Event brings togetherleading international anthropologists alongside emerging scholarsto examine revolutionary legacies from the MENA region, LatinAmerica and the Caribbean. It explores the idea that revolutionshave varied afterlives that complicate the assumptions about theirduration, pace and progression, and argues that a renewed focus onthe temporality of radical politics is essential to ourunderstanding of revolution. Approaching revolution through itsrelationship to time, the book is a critical intervention intoattempts to define revolutions as bounded events that act assequential transitions from one political system to another. Itpursues an ethnographically driven rethinking of the temporalhorizons that are at stake in revolutionary processes, arguing thatlinear views of revolution are inextricably tied to notions ofprogress and modernity. Through a careful selection of casestudies, the book provides a critical perspective on the livedrealities of revolutionary afterlives, challenging the liberalhumanist assumptions implicit in the 'modern' idea of revolution,and reappraising the political agency of people caught up inrevolutionary situations across a variety of ethnographic contexts.
