Review Quotes

A compelling contribution from historical archaeologists, this collection provides a vast array of entry points into larger societal discussions centered on the intersectionality of violence and privilege.--Daniel O. Sayers, author of A Desolate Place for a Defiant People: The Archaeology of Maroons, Indigenous Americans, and Enslaved Laborers in the Great Dismal Swamp

As archaeologists move toward more explicit engagement with today's issues, Archaeologies of Violence and Privilege provides us a sturdy foundation for self-critique and communal discourse.--April M. Beisaw, author of Identifying and Interpreting Animal Bones: A Manual

Stellar contributions. . . . Highly recommended.--Choice
