This controversial book is a survey of how relationships between
indigenous peoples and the archaeological establishment have got
into difficulty, and a crucial pointer to how to move forward from
this point.
With lucid appraisals of key debates such as NAGPRA, Kennewick
and the repatriation of Tasmanian artefacts, Laurajane Smith
dissects the nature and consequences of this clash of
cultures.
Smith explores how indigenous communities in the USA and
Australia have confronted the pre-eminence of archaeological theory
and discourse in the way the material remains of their past are
cared for and controlled, and how this has challenged traditional
archaeological thought and practice.
Essential reading for all those concerned with developing a just
and equal dialogue between the two parties, and the role of
archaeology in the research and management of their heritage.
