Description

This collection brings together the experiences and voices of anthropologists whose engaged work with im/migrant communities pushes the boundaries of ethnography toward a feminist care-based, decolonial mode of ethnographic engagement called “accompaniment.” Accompaniment as anthropological research and praxis troubles the boundaries of researcher-participant, scholar-activist, and academic-community members to explicitly address issues of power, inequality, and the broader social purpose of the work. More than two dozen contributors show how accompaniment is not merely a mode of knowledge production but an ethical commitment that calls researchers to action in solidarity and with those whose lives we seek to understand. The volume stands as a collective conversation about possibilities for caring and decolonial forms of ethnographic engagement with im/migrant communities. This volume is ideal for scholars, students, immigrant activists, instructors, and those interested in social justice work.
