“…This chapter is scaffolded upon multidimensional ethnographic, historic, and contemporary archaeological investigations of African American (Barnes 2011; Franklin 1997; LaRoche and Blakey 1997; Praetzellis and Praetzellis 2012; Singleton 1999; Wilkie 2000) and Latinx people's experiences (Gamboa 2016; González 2022; Hegberg 2020; Romero 2019; Sampeck 2018). It also is preceded by research on structural inequality (Fennell 2011) and the impact of industrial capitalism (Leone 1995; Leone and Knauf 2015; Matthews 2010). Likewise, this project is associated with studies regarding migration patterns, displacement, and removal (McDavid 2011; Mullins and Jones 2011b; Weik 2019).…”

Russell City, California was once a small farming settlement located near San Francisco Bay. Its population increased and demographics changed during the 1940s, when African American and Latinx families migrated to the area and became the town's majority. The hamlet was never incorporated and lacked basic utilities, yet Russell Cityans self‐governed, provided civic safety services, established churches and businesses, and sealed financial deals between neighbors. In the 1950s, however, surrounding areas began considering Russell City a blight. Newspaper articles reinforced this idea, while simultaneously detailing governmental attempts to impede Russell City's improvement efforts. In 1963, Alameda County began the forced relocation of Russell's tenants via a redevelopment project. Residents protested to no avail, and by 1968 the town was destroyed. The area is now an industrial park.Contemporary archaeology methods like archival research, oral history, material analysis, photography, and mapping are essential to understand Russell City's past. Using these approaches also enables former residents to cognitively bridge past and present, contributes to forming individual identities, fortifies community solidarity, and exposes the paradox of how living in Russell City was experienced by townspeople compared to how it was viewed by those outside its perimeters. Lastly, documenting Russell Cityans’ experiences and mapping the town are acts that confront the race and class‐based systems that not only shaped their lives as well as others in similar communities across the United States, but continue to affect marginalized peoples today.

“…Por último, los mismos animales fueron "occidentalizados" al asignarles una escala de valor dentro del esquema clasificatorio europeo, permitiendo de esta forma que se incluyeran en las prácticas alimenticias o, por el contrario, excluyéndolos de las mismas. Esto responde a los procesos de expansión europea y a la cultura del capitalismo, que invisibilizó los discursos y prácticas de aquellos sectores de la población que no hacían parte del modelo hegemónico implementado en las colonias, esas otras miradas y experiencias que la Arqueología debe dar cuenta (Leone, 1995(Leone, , 1999Leone & Knauf, 2015).…”

Las particularidades del proceso de conquista y colonia en América generaron nuevas formas de cotidianidad que, sin embargo, mantuvieron muchos de los elementos culturales de lo indígena y lo africano. La alimentación no fue ajena a ello y aunque hubo un interés por reproducir los estilos de vida europeos en el Nuevo Mundo, en realidad se generaron procesos de transculturación que permitieron la confluencia de saberes, tradiciones y productos de diversos orígenes. En este trabajo se expone a través del análisis de la arqueofauna excavada en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Panamá Viejo, como el elevado consumo de fauna foránea (res, cerdo y gallina), contrasta con un consumo también alto en moluscos locales, en el que varios grupos de la población colonial panameña participan en la construcción del modelo alimenticio en el istmo.

“…Na antropologia, a discussão data do final dos anos 1960 (cf. Mintz, 1985, p. 20-25); na arqueologia histórica, é inegável que a emergência e projeção da área, a partir dos anos 1970, se deu por meio de estudos sobre modernidade e capitalismo, com foco muitas vezes direcionado à escravidão e aos sistemas de trabalho nas plantations (Leone & Porter, 1999;Leone & Knauf, 2015).…”

Nos dias 15 e 16 de setembro de 2017, o Instituto de Pesquisa Afro-Latino-Americana do Centro Hutchins da Universidade de Harvard abrigou um workshop com vinte arqueólogas e arqueólogos das Américas e do Caribe. As conferências demonstraram como o foco na arqueologia afro-latino-americana desafia preocupações centrais da arqueologia. Mostraram ainda que a arqueologia contribui à transformação da antropologia e dos estudos afro-latino-americanos, incluindo-se a compreensão aprofundada das dinâmicas da diáspora africana, crioulização, gênese das economias modernas, hierarquias sociais e escravidão, consumo, ontologias, biopolítica, estética, patrimônio cultural e lutas contemporâneas pela soberania. Nesse ensaio, valendo-nos sobretudo dos debates ocorridos em nosso workshop, delinearemos o campo da arqueologia afro-latina-americana. Nossa intenção é, também, assinalar como ele pode contribuir com a antropologia, os estudos afro-latino-americanos e as políticas afro-reparatórias.
