Scholars have long recognized the role that older Black American women play in providing care for their own grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and even non-kin, arguing that kinship and caregiving relationships have been shaped by historical and structural factors. In this article, I consider intensive grandchild caregiving among Black American grandparents, primarily grandmothers, living in Detroit, Michigan. I highlight how the decision and process of providing care involves a “care calculation” where grandmothers evaluate their decision to caregive against existing financial, emotional, and bodily resources. In doing so, I argue that grandparent caregiving should be understood as a responsive and intentional process, where the decision to care for grandchildren and the performance of care work is more than simply responding to a set of certain circumstances and/or obligations based on biological kinship relations.

This essay examines the experience of conducting a "home-bound pandemic ethnography"-one that toggles back and forth between the ethnographer's own experience of the pandemic while in quarantine and the very different pandemic experiences of her Latina immigrant essential worker interviewees. Maintaining a split gaze between one's own experience and those of one's interviewees, a home-bound pandemic ethnography lends itself to a kind of reflexivity and comparison that traditional ethnographic "immersion" does not. Involving the disjunctive knowledge of "being here" while listening to the very different experience of "being there," it throws into stark relief asymmetries built deep into the ethnographic relationship. While ethnographic immersion rests on the illusion of ethnographers' acculturation so they become a kind of insider-outsider, a "home-bound" ethnography refuses the claims of traditional ethnography to "truly understand" the plight of the marginalized populations with whom we work. Just as critiques have emerged of anthropologists' silence regarding our relative immunity from climate catastrophes (Jobson, Am Anthropol, 122, 2020, 259) and from state violence (Gomberg-Muñoz, J Anthropol N Am, 21, 2018, 36) in comparison to those whom we research, the pandemic also demands an honest reckoning with the chasm that has widened anew between the lived realities of ethnographers and those of our research "subjects." Highlighting the discomfort of disjunctive lived realities, a home-bound pandemic ethnography creates a careful ledger of the ethnographer's comparative privilege, and questions the very premises of ethnographic immersion.
这篇文章考察了进行“回家流行病人种学”的经历——人种学家在隔离期间对流行病的亲身经历和她的拉丁移民基本工作者受访者截然不同的流行病经历之间来回切换。在一个人自己的经历和他的受访者的经历之间保持分裂的目光，一个家乡的流行病民族志使自己成为一种反思和比较，这是传统的民族志“沉浸”所没有的。涉及到“在这里”的分离知识，同时倾听“在那里”的非常不同的经验，它使深深植根于民族志关系中的不对称变得鲜明。当民族志沉浸在民族志学者的文化适应幻觉上，使他们成为一种局内人-局外人的错觉时，一种“家乡化”的民族志拒绝了传统民族志“真正理解”与我们一起工作的边缘化人群的困境的主张。与我们的研究对象相比，人类学家对我们对气候灾难的相对免疫保持沉默(Jobson, Am Anthropol, 122, 2020, 259)和国家暴力(Gomberg-Muñoz, J Anthropol N Am, 21, 2018, 36)，正如对这一问题的批评一样，这场大流行也要求我们诚实地反思民族学家和我们的研究“对象”之间的鸿沟，这种鸿沟已经重新扩大。强调分离的生活现实带来的不适，居家流行病民族志为民族志学者的相对特权创造了一个细致的分类账，并质疑了民族志沉浸的前提。

Abstract Abolition is both a vision and a practice As abolitionists, we envision a world without prisons We must also make that world together Abolition is thus more than an ideological commitment to the absence of prisons Abolition is presence, as Ruth Wilson Gilmore reminds us It is the presence of life-giving institutions It is our presence with one another, as we enact and explore in this article As co-authors, we have been journeying together at Florida State University for nearly a year Our work has shapeshifted through the COVID pandemic and in the wake of the Tallahassee Police Department murders of Mychael Johnson and Tony McDade We open this article on these grounds, honoring the people have fought before us and all who fight in their legacy We also stretch back into the violent histories that fill our present, and reflect in succession on the intimate work of building the world otherwise Our prison nation may govern through erasure and abandonment, but the prison is in fact everywhere That means that abolition must be everywhere, too This ethnography is our work to create it Through it, we hope to support you in making your own abolitionist futures in real time
废除死刑既是一种愿景，也是一种实践。作为废奴主义者，我们设想一个没有监狱的世界。我们还必须共同创造这个世界。因此，废除死刑不仅仅是对没有监狱的意识形态承诺。正如Ruth Wilson Gilmore提醒我们的那样，废除就是存在。它是赋予生命的机构的存在。正如我们在本文中所阐述和探讨的那样，这是我们彼此的存在。作为合著者，我们在佛罗里达州立大学一起旅行了将近一年。在新冠肺炎疫情期间以及塔拉哈西警察局谋杀Mychael Johnson和Tony McDade之后，我们的工作发生了变化。我们以这些理由打开这篇文章，向在我们之前战斗过的人们以及所有为自己的遗产而战的人致敬。我们还回顾了充满我们现在的暴力历史，并接连反思了以其他方式建设世界的亲密工作。我们的监狱国家可以通过删除和遗弃来治理，但监狱实际上无处不在。这意味着废除死刑也必须无处不在。这本民族志是我们创造它的工作。通过它，我们希望支持你实时创造自己的废奴主义未来。
