A wet nurse. A tutelary spirit bought from foreigners.
From the rear cover
"Traveling from spirit mediumship to the ethnography of the finance capital market, "In the Place of Origins" combines theoretical bravura with brilliant narrative skill. As it comments on ethnographic self-fashioning in Thailand, it also examines the mediumship of disciplinary ethnography, and the alterity it so anxiously seeks to expell. This is a text of dazzling instructive simplicity."--Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Columbia University
