Advances in Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry pays homage to
two prominent scholars, Arthur Bochner and Carolyn Ellis, for their
formative and formidable contributions to autoethnography, personal
narrative, and alternative forms of scholarship. Their
autoethnographic-and life-project gives us tools for understanding
shared humanity and precious diversity; for striving to become
ever-more empathic, loving, and ethical; and for living our best
creative, relational, and public lives. The collection is organized
into two sections: "Foundations" and "Futures." Contributors to
"Foundations" explore Carolyn and Art's scholarship and legacy
and/or their singular presence in the author's life. Contributors
to "Futures" offer novel and innovative applications of
autoethnographic and narrative inquiry. Throughout, contributors
demonstrate how Bochner's and Ellis' work has created and shifted
the terrain of autoethnographic and narrative research. This
collection will be of interest to researchers familiar with
Bochner's and Ellis' research. It also serves as a resource for
graduate students, scholars, and professionals who have an interest
in autoethnographic and narrative research. This collection can be
used in upper-division undergraduate courses and graduate courses
solely about autoethnography and narrative, and as a secondary text
for courses about ethnography and qualitative research.
Critical Autoethnography: Intersecting Cultural Identities in
Everyday Life, Second Edition, examines the development of the
field of critical autoethnography through the lens of social
identity. Contributors situate interpersonal and intercultural
experiences of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, citizenship,
sexuality, and spirituality within larger systems of power,
oppression, and privilege. Approachable and accessible narratives
highlight intersectional experiences of marginalization and
interrogate social injustices. The book is divided into three
sections: Complexities of Identity Performance, Relationships in
Diverse Contexts, and Pathways to Culturally Authentic Selves. Each
thematic section includes provocative stories that critically
engage personal and cultural narratives through a lens of
difference. The chapters in the book highlight both unique and
ubiquitous, extraordinary and common experiences in the interior
lives of people who are Othered because of at least two overlapping
identities. The contributors offer first person accounts to suggest
critical responses and alternatives to injustice. The book also
includes sectional summaries and discussion questions to facilitate
dialogue and self-reflection. It is an excellent resource for
undergraduate students, graduate students, educators, and scholars
who are interested in autoethnography, interpersonal and
intercultural communication, qualitative studies, personal
narrative, cultural studies, and performance studies.

This book has won the 2014 Qualitative Book Award Sweetwater: Black
Women and Narratives of Resilience is a multi-generational story of
growing up black and female in the rural South. This book captures
the artistry, strength, hope, sound, language, and creativity
shared by first-hand accounts of black women in a familial village
community in North Carolina. Sweetwater is about the black female
experience as it relates to friendship, family, spirituality,
poverty, education, addiction, mental illness, romantic
relationships, raising children, and everyday survival. Written
from field notes and memory, the author combines narrative and
autoethnography to weave her own experiences as a rural black girl
into the story, revealing the complexities of black women's lived
experiences and exposing the communicative and interpersonal
choices black women make through storytelling. Narrative inquiry
and black feminism are offered as creative educational tools for
discussing how and why black women's singular interior lives are
culturally and globally significant.
With the emergence of popular culture phenomena, such as reality
television, blogging, and social networking sites, it is important
to examine the representation of Black women and the potential
implications of those images, messages, and roles. Black Women and
Popular Culture: The Conversation Continues provides such a
comprehensive analysis. Using an array of theoretical frameworks
and methodologies, this anthology features cutting edge research
from several scholars interested in the relationship among media,
society, perceptions, and Black women. The uniqueness of this book
is that it serves as a compilation of hot topics such as ABC s
Scandal, Beyonce s Visual Album, and Oprah s Instagram page. Other
themes explored are rooted in reality television, film, and hip
hop, as well as issues of gender politics, domestic violence, and
colorism. The discussion also extends to the presentation and
inclusion of Black women in advertising, print, and digital media."
