Description
This collection brings together the experiences and voices of anthropologists who are pushing the boundaries of ethnography towards a more feminist, care-based, decolonial approach. They explore how accompaniment - an ethical commitment to action in solidarity with those whose lives they seek to understand - can transform the way we do research.
More than two dozen contributors share their insights on how accompaniment is not just a method of knowledge production, but a call to action that challenges traditional boundaries between researcher and participant. This volume offers a collective conversation about new possibilities for caring and decolonial forms of ethnographic engagement with migrant communities.
Ideal for scholars, students, immigrant activists, instructors, and those interested in social justice work, this book provides a unique perspective on the role of researchers in addressing issues of power and inequality. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to engage with im/migrant communities in a more meaningful and collaborative way.
