Toward a Fugitive Anthropology: Gender, Race, and Violence in the Field
Open accessAbstract
In this essay, we point to the ways in which activist research methodologies have been complicit with the dominant logics of traditional research methods, including notions of fieldwork as a masculinist rite of passage. Paradoxically, while activist research narrates the experiences of violence enacted on racialized, gendered (queer and gendernonconforming) bodies, the complexities of doing anthropology with those same bodies have tended to be erased in the politics of the research. Thus, our analysis is twofold: we reaffirm activist anthropology’s critiques against the putatively objective character of the discipline, which effaces questions of race, gender, and class in the research process and asserts a neutral stance that replicates colonial and extractivist forms of knowledge production. At the same time, we critically examine how activist research replicates that which it critiques by not addressing the racialized, gendered researcher’s embodied experience and by presuming that rapport or intimacy with those with whom we are aligned necessarily results in more horizontal power relations. Drawing on fieldwork in El Salvador, Cuba, Palestine, Mexico, and Guyana, we examine how our gendered racial positionalities inflect the research process and consider how we can push activist methods to be accountable to the embodied aspects of conducting research in conflict zones, colonial contexts, and/or conditions of gendered and racialized terror. Ultimately, we call for a fugitive anthropology, a methodological praxis that centers an embodied feminist ethos, advancing the path toward decolonizing anthropology.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This essay argues that activist anthropology remains complicit with masculinist, colonial, and heteropatriarchal logics by erasing the embodied racialized-gendered violence that women researchers face in the field. Drawing on five authors’ fieldwork in El Salvador, Cuba, Palestine, Mexico, and Guyana, it calls for a “fugitive anthropology” centered on embodied feminist praxis and decolonial accountability.
Key findings
- Activist research critiques positivist objectivity but often presumes a gender-neutral researcher and horizontal rapport, thereby reproducing the power hierarchies it seeks to dismantle; the authors call for a fugitive anthropology grounded in black feminist and indigenous decolonial thought.
- In El Salvador, after the 2012 gang truce, the national homicide rate fell from fourteen killings per day to five in the first months; the author’s access to gang peacemaking through activist methods also exposed her to patriarchal sexual expectations as a condition of continued fieldwork.
- In Cuba, the author’s sexual assault by the boarding-house owner’s brother was met with institutional silence and racialized logic about black women’s presumed “rapeability”; in Palestine, settler-colonial terror invaded the author’s dreams and body; in Mexico, male leaders framed collaboration as courtship; in Guyana, an elder’s assault and the policing response showed how dark flesh rendered the researcher suspect.
- The authors argue that violence against women researchers is normalized as a fieldwork risk, and that women of color, queer, and gender-nonconforming researchers must be centered in anthropological training and professional accountability.
Methods
- Collective feminist autoethnographic essay by five self-identified black, brown, indigenous, mestiza, and/or queer cisgender women trained in U.S. decolonial and activist anthropological praxis.
- Each author presents an ethnographic vignette from fieldwork in El Salvador, Cuba, Palestine, Mexico, and Guyana, then the group collectively develops the framework of “fugitive anthropology.”
- Analysis is theoretical and reflexive, drawing on black feminist intersectionality, decolonial theory, and embodied experience rather than systematic data collection or comparative measurement.
Limitations
- Stated: the authors say they do not offer prescriptive solutions and recognize contradictions, including seeking protection while analyzing structural violence and risking career or local-relationship damage.
- Stated: reformist solutions such as working in pairs or forming emotional support networks only partially counter dangers and “mute the structural antagonisms” the authors highlight.
- Evident from the text: the analysis rests on five authors’ personal vignettes rather than a systematic comparative study or representative sample, so it does not provide generalizable prevalence data on field violence.

“Indeed, women-identified researchers are implicitly and explicitly told to expect sexual/gender violence as a risk that comes with the territory of fieldwork (and, by extension, the territory of everyday life), one that maps onto the racialized, sexualized territories of our bodies as property.”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
§ UNSPOKEN CHALLENGES: Political Alliance, Gender Expectations, Survival
“Nine months later, on March 14, 2012, El Faro, a respected online newspaper, reported that the rival Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18 gangs had negotiated a national gang truce in exchange for government funds, portraying them in the article as "criminal organizations" (Martı ´nez et al. 2012).”
§ UNSPOKEN CHALLENGES: Political Alliance, Gender Expectations, Survival
“In August 2011, I returned to my home country, El Salvador, to share the findings of my 2011 master's thesis with ex-army and ex-Farabundo Martı ´National Liberation Front (FMLN) guerrillas, whose postwar practices of coexistence I had studied-practices I called "grassroots peacemaking."”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
