Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa: Decolonizing Practice
Editat de Peter R. Schmidt, Innocent Pikirayien Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 2016
Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa reflects a determined effort to change how archaeology is taught to future generations. Through community-based participatory approaches, archaeologists and heritage professionals can benefit from shared resources and local knowledge; and by sharing decision-making with members of local communities, archaeological inquiry can enhance their way of life, ameliorate their human rights concerns, and meet their daily needs to build better futures. Exchanging traditional power structures for research design and implementation, the examples outlined in this volume demonstrate the discipline’s exciting capacity to move forward to achieve its potential as a broader, more accessible, and more inclusive field.

Recenzii
"This important text on community involvement with archaeology in Africa constitutes the most extensive examination to date of the roles that African communities can and should play in engaging with archaeologists and cultural heritage management practitioners... An absolutely indispensable text for anyone doing archaeology or heritage management, in Africa or elsewhere. Summing Up: Essential."
— S. MacEachern, Bowdoin College, CHOICE Reviews
"Schmidt and Pikirayi’s edited volume is an important contribution... Archaeologists and heritage practitioners working in Africa may respond defensively to the content of this volume, believing that their practice is not colonial and thus not in need of decolonising. However, it is only through critical reflection and new research approaches, as promoted in this volume, that as archaeologists we can expose to ourselves the underlying colonial biases that the various communities that witness, and are impacted by, our work so often perceive."

Descriere
Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa provides new insights into the distinctive contributions that community archaeology makes to the decolonization of archaeological practice. Using innovative approaches, contributors share important initiatives taken by communities to protect and revitalize their heritage, initiatives that involve archaeologists as co-producers and not as leaders. Giving up traditional power over research design and implementation, these African examples demonstrate an exciting capacity to move the discipline forward to achieve its potential as a broader, more accessible, and more inclusive discipline.
