Heritage in the Body
Sensory Ecologies of Health Practice in Times of Change
Through storytelling, ethnography, and interviews, this volume examines how Indigenous Maya and Garifuna Belizeans—both in Belize and in the United States—navigate macro-level processes such as economic development, climate change, political shifts, and global health crises in the context of changes in their own lives. Employing an embodied ecological heritage (EEH) framework, this work explores the links between health and heritage. It offers insights into how heritage practices become embodied as ways to maintain and support happy, healthy lives.
Embodying Biodiversity
Sensory Conservation as Refuge and Sovereignty
This interdisciplinary volume argues for the importance of everyday sensuous conservation and its ability to grow diverse, livable worlds where human embodiment is understood as part of—not separate from—plant life. Contributors argue that the majority of biodiversity conservation worldwide is carried out not by large-scale conservation projects but by ordinary people engaging in sensory-motivated, caretaking relationships with specific plants.

How Indigeneity Shapes the State
This book takes the provocative view that Indigenous people have been fundamental to how contemporary state sovereignty was imagined, theorized, and practiced. By tracing indigeneity from European philosophers conceptualizing sovereignty during the Enlightenment to Indigenous President Evo Morales in Bolivia, this volume offers new analytical tools to explore indigeneity in contemporary world politics.

Frontera Madre(hood)
Brown Mothers Challenging Oppression and Transborder Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border
Reflecting on the concept of frontera madre(hood) as both a methodological and theoretical framework, this collection embodies the challenges and resiliency of mothering along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. More than thirty contributors examine how mothering is shaped by the geopolitics of border zones, which also transcends biological, sociological, or cultural and gendered tropes regarding ideas of motherhood, who can mother, and what mothering personifies.
Working en comunidad
Service-Learning and Community Engagement with U.S. Latinas/os/es
This edited volume showcases examples of service-learning practices and pedagogies for working alongside Latina/o/e communities. The contributors tackle three major themes: ethical approaches to working with Latina/o/e communities within language courses and beyond; preparing Latina/o/e students for working with their own communities in different environments; and ensuring equitable practices and building relationships that are mutually beneficial for students and community. Written by scholars, practitioners, and researchers, the collection’s six chapters offer case studies of how to carry out service-learning work that is culturally informed and provides a guide to help others do the same.

Accompaniment with Im/migrant Communities
Engaged Ethnography
This edited volume is a collective conversation between anthropologists, activists, students, im/migrants, and community members about accompaniment—a feminist care-based, decolonial mode of ethnographic engagement. Across the chapters, contributors engage with accompaniment with im/migrant communities in a variety of ways that challenge traditional boundaries between researcher-participant, scholar-activist, and academic-community member to explicitly address issues of power, inequality, and well-being for the communities they work with and alongside.
