ABSTRACT
What stories do we have the right to tell? When must we remain silent about our research? In this chapter, we explore how these ethical dilemmas arise from our positions as critical ethnographers and advocates for Arab and Muslim communities made vulnerable by contemporary public scrutiny and state surveillance in the U.S. Exploring particular writing struggles in our work, we suggest that through asking these difficult questions, we might find ways to tell stories that offer rounder, more multi-faceted view of these communities and that embed within them the reality of structural oppressions that exist across human societies.
