- Summary:
- Battle-Baptiste (anthropology, U. of Massachusetts-Amherst) presents a methodological tool kit that will enable archaeologists to analyze issues of race, class, and gender in the field of archaeological practice. She also wants the framework to spread across discipline lines and take root in history, literature, African and African American studies, political science, and other fields. Intertwining scholarly and narrative elements, she discusses constructing a Black feminist framework, The Hermitage, revisiting excavations at Lucy Foster's homestead, the Burghardt women and the W.E.B. Du Bois boyhood homesite, and moving mountains and liberating dialogues. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
