ANTH 229: Chicana Ethnography (HC)

The longevity of the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center in San Antonio, Texas, suggests that it is possible for a social change organization to simultaneously address racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, imperialism, environmental justice, and peace--and to succeed. Activism, Alliance Building, and the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center uses ethnographic research to provide an instructive case study of the importance and challenges of confronting injustice in all of its manifestations.

This collection of essays from the 1984 National Association for Chicana Studies conference entitled "Voces de la Mujer" offers a cross-section of nterdisciplinary scholarship and methodologies.

This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the kinds of dilemmas feminist researchers have confronted in the field, both in the United States and in Third World countries.

Feminist researchers bring unique epistemological and methodological perspectives to the research process. Feminists' approach to methodology allows for `new' types of questions about women's lives and those of `other/ed' marginalized groups to be addressed within their respective fields of research. This Handbook stresses the interconnections between epistemology, methodology and methods.
