Defending Rumba in Havana
In Defending Rumba in Havana , anthropologist and dancer Maya J. Berry examines rumba as a way of knowing the embodied and spiritual dimensions of Black political imagination in post-Fidel Cuba. Historically a Black working-class popular dance, rumba, Berry contends, is a method of Black Cuban struggle that provides the community, accountability, sustenance, and dignity that neither the state nor the expanding private market can. Berry’s feminist…

Implications and Insights on Federal Revisions to Race and Ethnicity Data Collection
Building an Equitable Future Through Data Disaggregation
Race and ethnicity data are so critical for understanding the health and well-being of everyone living in our nation.We are in the midst of an exciting time, where there is a major opportunity to actually impact how race and ethnicity data are collected, analyzed, reported, and disseminated to promote greater health equity.As we all know, the Office of Management and Budget, which is also known as the OMB, is considering for the first time in >25…
Making Paths with Stone
Eshu-Elegguá is a divinity in the Regla de Ocha-Ifá pantheon characterized as a warrior and messenger. Enslaved Africans in Cuba taught their descendants that a good relationship with this divinity is helpful for making risky choices and providing protection when embarking on a treacherous new beginning
Moral Panics, Viral Subjects
While Cuba was in a COVID-19-induced lockdown, coleras, women who wait in hours-long colas (lines) to purchase scarce goods to resell, emerged in online state media as 'folk devils' responsible for the acute shortages of basic goods. Using an intersection lens, we combine fieldwork in lines and content analysis of online media to examine the creation and policing of the colera threat during the summer of 2020. Coleras were framed as immoral subje…
Black Feminist Rumba Pedagogies
Rumba guaguancó, a sub-genre of Afro-Cuban popular dance, has been widely defined as a dance of courtship, characterized as a male pursuit of a woman's sex. The article analyzes alternative meanings of the sub-genre articulated in the pedagogical practices of black women rumba dancers. Insights were gleaned from the author's own dance training in Havana while conducting original ethnographic research between 2009 and 2018. What the author terms “…
In Mourning
This year-in-review article places 2020 sociocultural works within the portal formed by pandemic loss. Moving in the mode of Black feminist praxis, the article stays with wake work (Sharpe) as an analytic to consider articles and born digital media for how they were moved by the situated practices and affects produced through dying from normality and the horizons they summon and grieve. Specifically, Sharpe's formulation of wake work as a labor o…
The Limitations and Liberatory Potential of Feminist Anthropology (Part Two)
Toward a Fugitive Anthropology
In this essay, we point to the ways in which activist research methodologies have been complicit with the dominant logics of traditional research methods, including notions of fieldwork as a masculinist rite of passage. Paradoxically, while activist research narrates the experiences of violence enacted on racialized, gendered (queer and gender-nonconforming) bodies, the complexities of doing anthropology with those same bodies have tended to be e…
