I've only read a very little of Latour, but this is not my sense. It's less about fetish than it is about capture: things are allowed their thingness, their subjectivity, but their difference is ultimately subsumed by the democratic horizon.... But again, that's based on very little.
Anyway, haven't read, but these sound like they could be of use:
