Ian Randle Press publishes Methodologies in Caribbean Research on Gender and Sexuality
A first of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean, Methodologies in Caribbean Research on Gender and Sexuality brings together contributions from a variety of Caribbean-based and diasporic researchers and activists about the main methods used in existing feminist research practice. Edited by professors Kamala Kempadoo and Halimah A. F. DeShong and comprising 29 chapters organized around 7 main themes – History & Historiography; Methodologies for Feminist Organizing & Action Research; Researching Gender; Researching Sexualities; Researching the Visual & Cultural; Methods for Analysing Talk & Text; and Reflections on Positionality – this book brings together canonical texts on Caribbean gender and sexuality research methods and methodology, recent research on digital cultures and critical reflections on positionality in fieldwork. The multi-disciplinary collection reveals both the embrace of multiple methods by Caribbean researchers and the limitations that the need to produce detailed and comprehensive knowledge about gender and sexuality imposes on the research process.
It is an invaluable resource for university students, for teaching purposes in women, gender and sexuality studies, and methods courses.
