Summary note

"Ethnographers increasingly train with community members to work as insider-scholars, collaborate on the design and implementation of research, and employ a variety of techniques to develop analyses that may lead to significant policy changes. The contributors in Ethnographic Refusals, Unruly Latinidades highlight the value of 'radical inclusion' in their research and call for a critical self-reflexivity that marshalls the power of bearing witness to move from rhetoric to praxis in support of these methodologies within anthropological perspectives. The essays in this collection do not offer simple solutions to histories of colonialism, patriarchy, and misogyny through which gender binaries and racial hierarches have been imposed and reproduced, but rather provide a crucial opportunity for reflection on and continued reimagination of the contours of Latinidad. These scholars deploy Latinx strategically as part of ongoing dialogues, understanding that their terminologies are inherently imprecise, contested, and constantly shifting. Each chapter explores how Latinx ethnographers and interlocutors work together in contexts of refusal--ever mindful of how power shapes these encounters and the analyses that emerge from them--as well as the extraordinary possibilities offered by ethnography and its role in ongoing social transformation" -- Back cover.
