Black Feminist Archaeology Hardback
by Whitney Battle-Baptiste
Hardback
Description
Black feminist thought has developed in various parts of the academy for over three decades, but has made only minor inroads into archaeological theory and practice.
Whitney Battle-Baptiste outlines the basic tenets of Black feminist thought and research for archaeologists and shows how it can be used to improve contemporary historical archaeology.
She demonstrates this using Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, the W.
E. B. Du Bois Homesite in Massachusetts, and the Lucy Foster house in Andover, which represented the first archaeological excavation of an African American home.
Her call for an archaeology more sensitive to questions of race and gender is an important development for the field.
