Members of communities of color in the United States often struggle
for equity, autonomy, survival, and justice. Community-Based
Participatory Research is an edited volume from activist-scholars
who present personal testimonies showcasing how community-based
participatory research (CBPR) can lead to sustainable change and
empowerment. Editor Natalia Deeb-Sossa has chosen contributors
whose diverse interdisciplinary projects are grounded in
politically engaged research in Chicanx and Latinx communities. The
scholars' advocacy work is a core component of the research design
of their studies, challenging the idea that research needs to be
neutral or unbiased. The testimonies tell of projects that stem
from community demands for truly collaborative research addressing
locally identified issues and promoting community social change.
Contributors share their personal experiences in conducting CBPR,
focusing on the complexities of implementing this method and how it
may create sustainable change and community empowerment. Along with
a retrospective analysis of how CBPR has been at the center of the
Chicana/o Movement and Chicana/o studies, the book includes a
discussion of consejos y advertencias (advice and warnings). The
most knowledgeable people on community issues are the very members
of the communities themselves. Recognizing a need to identify the
experiences and voices (testimonios) of communities of color,
activist- scholars showcase how to incorporate the perspectives of
the true experts: the poor, women, farmworkers, students,
activists, elders, and immigrants.
