"This collection brings together the experiences and voices of anthropologists whose engaged work with im/ migrant communities pushes the boundaries of ethnography toward a feminist, care-based, decolonial mode of ethnographic engagement called ‘accompaniment.’ Accompaniment as anthropological research and praxis troubles the boundaries of researcher-participant, scholaractivist, and academic-community to explicitly address issues of power, inequality, and the broader social purpose of the work. More than two dozen contributors show how accompaniment is not merely a mode of knowledge production but an ethical commitment that calls researchers to action in solidarity with those whose lives we seek to understand."
