Landscapes of Movement and Predation
Perspectives from Archaeology, History, and Anthropology
Landscapes of Movement and Predation is a global study of times and places, in the colonial and precolonial eras, where people were subject to brutality, displacement, and loss of life, liberty, livelihood, and possessions. The book provides a startling new perspective on an aspect of the past that is often overlooked: the role of violence in shaping where, how, and with whom people lived.

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.
