Introduction to Special Collection
Ethnobiology has long recognized that human and plant relationships produce particular ways of living. The discipline is increasingly asking how these lifeworlds reflect and create sociopolitical formations-from low-impact hunting-gathering or slash-and-burn agriculture, to colonial plantations and runaway settlements, to contemporary agribusiness and alternative biodynamic agriculture.

Does the existence of rapport actually confer legitimacy on the research, besides endorsing the "truth" claims of information obtained by engaging in the process of fieldwork? The author raises these questions in an attempt to decipher an incident that occurred at the end of her research in India's Andaman…
