“…Archaeologists interested in African America have engaged a number of transdisciplinary realms of theory, including critical race theory and whiteness (Bell 2005, Epperson 2004, González-Tennant & González-Tennant 2016, McDavid 2007, Palmer 2011, Palus 2011, White 2017, semiotics and pragmatism (Agbe-Davies 2016Dawdy 2005;Jeppson 2007;McDavid 2002;Morris 2017;Planto 2021), and, most notably, Black feminist theory (see above, but also Burnett 2022, Flewellen et al 2021a, Franklin 2020, Franklin & Wilson 2020, González-Tennant 2018, Sterling 2015, Watkins 2020.…”

“…Using a community focus also draws attention to the places-independent municipalities, neighborhoods, and rural settlements-where African Americans concentrated, often because anti-Black racism in American society undermined their humanity and citizenship (Boroughs 2021, Fennell 2017, González-Tennant 2018, Matthews & McGovern 2018, McDavid 2011, Morris 2017, Mullins 2017. Rosewood, Florida, may offer the most stark example of the kinds of threats that communities faced from the wider American society.…”

A focus on institutions frames this examination of the archaeology of African America. While initially emphasizing the institution of slavery and theories of Black difference, the field today has a much wider scope. Researchers engaged in this work critically examine past and present-day institutions. As such, this review also considers the place of African American archaeology in engaged scholarship, critical theory, and self-reflexive practice. As in past reviews, the emphasis is on the United States, with occasional references to important work in the rest of the African diaspora. African American archaeology is shown to be inextricably interwoven with scholarly work in North American archaeology, African American studies, heritage studies, and social theory. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology Volume 51 is October 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…These include Angela Davis's (2003) work on mass incarceration; Kimberle Crenshaw's (1989) interventions in theorizing inequality and difference; Dána-Ain Davis's (2019) research on Black women's reproductive rights; and Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi's cofounding of the Black Lives Matter movement (Khan-Cullors and Bandele 2017). Black feminist scholarship is relevant to historicizing, critiquing, and deconstructing power relations (Alexander 2006;Hartman 1997;hooks 2014;Lorde 2012;McKittrick 2006;Sharpe 2016), and it has inspired critical work in archaeology (Arjona 2017;Battle-Baptiste 2011;Franklin 2001;Lee and Scott 2019;Morris 2017;Sesma 2016;Sterling 2015;Wilkie 2003).…”

“The Future of Archaeology Is Antiracist”: Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter

et al. 2021

This forum builds on the discussion stimulated during an online salon in which the authors participated on June 25, 2020, entitled “Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter,” and which was cosponsored by the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA), the North American Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG), and the Columbia Center for Archaeology. The online salon reflected on the social unrest that gripped the United States in the spring of 2020, gauged the history and conditions leading up to it, and considered its rippling throughout the disciplines of archaeology and heritage preservation. Within the forum, the authors go beyond reporting the generative conversation that took place in June by presenting a road map for an antiracist archaeology in which antiblackness is dismantled.

“…Research programs have also expanded to address the diversity of Black experiences not only across space but time, as more of us explore life after emancipation and the “materiality of freedom” (Barnes 2011 ; see also Davidson 2008 ; Lee 2020 ; Leone et al 2005 ; Warner 2015 ; Wilkie 2019 ). African diaspora archaeology also incorporates critical race and Black feminist theories (Agbe-Davies 2014 ; Battle-Baptiste 2011 , 2017 ; Epperson 2004 ; Fennell and White 2017 ; Franklin 2001 ; González-Tennant 2018 ; Lee and Scott 2019 ; McDavid 2007 ; Morris 2017 ; Mullins 1999 ; Orser 2001b ; Wilkie 2003 ), vindicationist scholarship (e.g., Bell 2008 ; Brandon 2008 ; LaRoche and Blakey 1997 ; Mullins 2008 ), and a commitment to partnering with Black communities within the context of research (Joseph 2016 :14; McDavid 2010 ; Reeves 2004 ). Previous works by Black scholars from other disciplinary backgrounds have been foundational to these trends in African diaspora archaeology.…”

Building a new anti-racist archaeology will require an unprecedented level of structural changes in the practices, demographics, and power relations of archaeology. This article considers why this iteration of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Movement is proving to be unique in terms of its potential to transform the field. We discuss how anti-racist archaeologists arrived at this juncture prepared to meet the challenges now before us, and how members of the Society of Black Archaeologists are collaborating with others to enact change. We acknowledge the significant social justice efforts of others and suggest how archaeologists can get involved to keep this critical momentum going.
