This article discusses a participatory action research (PAR) project carried out with three transnational Latina youth in northern California and how the university researcher incorporated Chicana feminist strategies in the study. PAR and Chicana feminism place at the heart of research the knowledge that ordinary people produce, referring to this knowledge as conocimientos, or "homemade theory." The author discusses the project, the collaborative writing of a children's book based on two years of data collection, the challenges in being both an insider and an outsider to the community, how the youth created a counterstory based on their transnational immigrant lifestyle, and how an out-of-school setting promoted engaged research with urban teens.
本文讨论了一项与北加利福尼亚州的三名跨国拉丁裔青年开展的参与式行动研究（PAR）项目，以及大学研究人员如何在该研究中融入奇卡诺女权主义策略。参与式行动研究和奇卡诺女权主义将普通人产生的知识置于研究的核心位置，将这种知识称为conocimientos，即“本土理论”。作者讨论了该项目、基于两年数据收集创作一本儿童读物的合作过程、身为社区内部人和外部人的双重身份所面临的挑战、这些青年如何基于他们的跨国移民生活方式创造了一个反叙事故事，以及校外环境如何促进了与城市青少年的深度参与式研究。
