About the Author Natalia Deeb-Sossa is an associate professor in the Chicana/O Studies Department at University of California, Davis.
Recognizing a need to identify the experiences and voices (testimonios) of communities of color, activist--scholars showcase how to incorporate the perspectives of the true experts: the poor, women, farmworkers, students, activists, elders, and immigrants.
The most knowledgeable people on community issues are the very members of the communities themselves.
Along with a retrospective analysis of how CBPR has been at the center of the Chicana/O Movement and Chicana/O studies, the book includes a discussion of consejos y advertencias (advice and warnings).
Contributors share their personal experiences in conducting CBPR, focusing on the complexities of implementing this method and how it may create sustainable change and community empowerment.
The testimonies tell of projects that stem from community demands for truly collaborative research addressing locally identified issues and promoting community social change.
The scholars\' advocacy work is a core component of the research design of their studies, challenging the idea that research needs to be neutral or unbiased.
Editor Natalia Deeb-Sossa has chosen contributors whose diverse interdisciplinary projects are grounded in politically engaged research in Chicanx and Latinx communities.
Community-Based Participatory Research is an edited volume from activist-scholars who present personal testimonies showcasing how Community-Based Participatory research (CBPR) can lead to sustainable change and empowerment.
