But what can folklore reveal about strategies of belonging, survival, and reinvention in moments of crisis? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe experience of living in hostile conditions for cultural, social, political, or economic reasons has redefined communities in crisis. The curated works in \u003ci\u003eTheorizing Folklore from the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e offer clear and feasible suggestions for how to ethically engage in the study of folklore with marginalized populations. By focusing on issues of critical race and ethnic studies, decolonial and antioppressive methodologies, and gender and sexuality studies, contributors employ a wide variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches. In doing so, they reflect the transdisciplinary possibilities of Folklore studies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy bridging the gap between theory and practice, \u003ci\u003eTheorizing Folklore from the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e confirms that engaging with oppressed communities is not only relevant, but necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolimar Otero is Professor of Folklore in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University.
