| Summary: | The anthropological study of interactions between Africans and Native Americans has not always been recognized for its intersectionality. Yet, as early as the 1880s, studies revealed how the everyday lives of African and Native American cultures intersected, illuminating the complex junctions of culture and race in their identities. The approach and lived experiences that inform this case study reflect original ethnographic field work conducted between 2007 and 2015, during my time as a cocurator for the Smithsonian's Traveling Banner Exhibit, "IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas." This case study focuses on how person-centered ethnography can be used as a decolonial methodology to conduct research on the subjectivity of acceptance, being, belonging, and discrimination that inconsistencies between cultural identification and racial recognition create. This case study also discusses how to use person-centered ethnography to center African-Native American voices and the intersectional experiences as the central foci of analysis. |
