Bridging the Divide : Indigenous Communities and Archaeology into the 21st Century, Hardback Book

Bridging the Divide : Indigenous Communities and Archaeology into the 21st Century Hardback

Edited by Caroline Phillips, Harry Allen

Hardback

Description

The collected essays in this volume address contemporary issues regarding the relationship between Indigenous groups and archaeologists, including the challenges of dialogue, colonialism, the difficulties of working within legislative and institutional frameworks, and NAGPRA and similar legislation.

The disciplines of archaeology and cultural heritage management are international in scope and many countries continue to experience the impact of colonialism.

In response to these common experiences, both archaeology and indigenous political movements involve international networks through which information quickly moves around the globe.

This volume reflects these dynamic dialectics between the past and the present and between the international and the local, demonstrating that archaeology is a historical science always linked to contemporary cultural concerns.
