The late Dwight Conquergood's research has inspired an entire
generation of scholars invested in performance as a meaningful
paradigm to understand human interaction, especially between
structures of power and the disenfranchised. Conquergood's research
laid the groundwork for others to engage issues of ethics in
ethnographic research, performance as a meaningful paradigm for
ethnography, and case studies that demonstrated the dissolution of
theory/practice binaries." Cultural Struggles" is the first
gathering of Conquergood's work in a single volume, tracing the
evolution of one scholar's thinking across a career of scholarship,
teaching, and activism, and also the first collection of its kind
to bring together theory, method, and complete case studies.
The collection begins with an illuminating introduction by E.
Patrick Johnson and ends with commentary by other scholars (Micaela
di Leonardo, Judith Hamera, Shannon Jackson, D. Soyini Madison,
Lisa Merrill, Della Pollock, and Joseph Roach), engaging aspects of
Conquergood's work and providing insight into how that work has
withstood the test of time, as scholars still draw on his research
to inform their current interests and methods.
