Re-Positioning Reciprocity: Reflections From a Caribbean Study

Authors

Abstract

Current Western discourses on reciprocity in the research process situate the responsibility, and thus the control, for creating reciprocal relationships within the realm of the researcher. In the author's reflections in this narrative, based on an extended field study in the Caribbean, reciprocity is re-visioned as emerging from the location of the study participants. Inherent power differentials and the researcher's purposeful process of relinquishing the reins of power are discussed.
