As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of …

Unseen Flesh
Teaching Antiracist Citational Politics as a Project of Transformation
The Cite Black Women movement has opened important possibilities for community building around citational politics and praxis. For white feminist anthropologists, reckoning with how whiteness has shaped the canon within feminist anthropology is particularly important. While this necessitates broader challenges to the racist and colonial legacies within anthropology, it is essential to interrogate how whiteness continues to be privileged in the wa…

Feminist Activist Ethnography
Writing in the wake of neoliberalism, where human rights and social justice have increasingly been subordinated to proliferating “consumer choices” and ideals of market justice, contributors to this collection argue that feminist ethnographers are in a key position to reassert the central feminist connections between theory, methods, and activism.

A "Consumer's Right" to Choose a Midwife
The "right to choose" has long served as the ideological rallying cry for reproductive rights activists. Yet critical attention to the social, political, and economic conditions under which individuals make such choices has been central to anthropological research on reproduction. In the context of neoliberal public policy shifts that favor trust in the market to remedy all social and economic inequality, I explore how women's reproductive rights…

Is Reproductive Healthcare Access a "Consumer Rights" Issue
Claiming Respectable American Motherhood
Based on ethnographic research regarding public policy and grassroots organizing for midwifery in Virginia, this article explores how medical discourses around appropriate health care practices intersect with state discourses about what practices are considered "respectable" versus "pathological" for its citizens. In recent legislative debates about the legalization of direct-entry midwifery, medical officials have extended their criticism of mid…
