Writing in the wake of neoliberalism, where human rights and social
justice have increasingly been subordinated to proliferating
"consumer choices" and ideals of market justice, contributors to
this collection argue that feminist ethnographers are in a key
position to reassert the central feminist connections between
theory, methods, and activism. Together, we suggest avenues for
incorporating methodological innovations, collaborative analysis,
and collective activism in our scholarly projects. What are the
possibilities (and challenges) that exist for feminist ethnography
25 years after initial debates emerged in this field about
reflexivity, objectivity, reductive individualism, and the social
relevance of activist scholarship? How can feminist ethnography
intensify efforts towards social justice in the current political
and economic climate? This collection continues a crucial dialog
about feminist activist ethnography in the 21st century-at the
intersection of engaged feminist research and activism in the
service of the organizations, people, communities, and feminist
issues we study.

In ""Matters of Choice"", Iris Lopez presents a comprehensive
analysis of the dichotomous views that have portrayed sterilization
either as part of a coercive program of population control or as a
means of voluntary, even liberating, fertility control by
individual women. Drawing upon her twenty-five years of research on
sterilized Puerto Rican women from five different families in
Brooklyn, Lopez untangles the interplay between how women make
fertility decisions and their social, economic, cultural, and
historical constraints.
