In August 2011, ethnographers Carolina Alonso Bejarano and Daniel
M. Goldstein began a research project on undocumented immigration
in the United States by volunteering at a center for migrant
workers in New Jersey. Two years later, Lucia Lopez Juarez and
Mirian A. Mijangos Garcia-two local immigrant workers from Latin
America-joined Alonso Bejarano and Goldstein as research assistants
and quickly became equal partners for whom ethnographic practice
was inseparable from activism. In Decolonizing Ethnography the four
coauthors offer a methodological and theoretical reassessment of
social science research, showing how it can function as a vehicle
for activism and as a tool for marginalized people to theorize
their lives. Tacking between personal narratives, ethnographic
field notes, an original bilingual play about workers' rights, and
examinations of anthropology as a discipline, the coauthors show
how the participation of Mijangos Garcia and Lopez Juarez
transformed the project's activist and academic dimensions. In so
doing, they offer a guide for those wishing to expand the potential
of ethnography to serve as a means for social transformation and
decolonization.
