Christopher P Barton, "Trowels in the Trenches: Archaeology as Social Activism"
English | ISBN: 0813066735 | 2021 | 266 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Presenting examples from the fields of critical race studies, cultural resource management, digital archaeology, environmental studies, and heritage studies, Trowels in the Trenches demonstrates the many different ways archaeology can be used to contest social injustice. This volume shows that activism in archaeology does not need to involve radical or explicitly political actions but can be practiced in subtler forms as a means of studying the past, informing the present, and creating a better future.
