I, Too, Am America: Archaeological Studies of African-American Life - Paperback

by Theresa a. Singleton (Editor)

This collection of essays celebrates and reflects the broad spectrum of scholarship arising from an expanded definition of African American archaeology set in motion by black activists in the 1960s and 1970s, treating such issues as the analysis and representation of cultural identity, race, gender, and class; cultural interaction and change; relations of power and domination; and the sociopolitics of archaeological practice.
