This comprehensive reader on indigenous archaeology shows that
collaboration has become a key part of archaeology and heritage
practice worldwide. Collaborative projects and projects directed
and conducted by indigenous peoples independently have become
standard, community concerns are routinely addressed, and oral
histories are commonly incorporated into research. This volume
begins with a substantial section on theoretical and philosophical
underpinnings, then presents key articles from around the globe in
sections on Oceania, North America, Mesoamerica and South America,
Africa, Asia, and Europe. Editorial introductions to each piece
con-textualize them in the intersection of archaeology and
indigenous studies. This major collection is an ideal text for
courses in indigenous studies, archaeology, heritage management,
and related fields.

Invisible Labour in Modern Science is about the people who are
concealed, eclipsed, or anonymised in accounts of scientific
research. Many scientific workers-including translators, activists,
archivists, technicians, curators, and ethics review boards-are
absent in formal publications and omitted from stories of
discovery. Scientific reports are often held to ideals of
transparency, yet they are the result of careful judgments about
what (and what not) to reveal. Professional scientists are often
celebrated, yet they are expected to uphold principles of
'objective' self-denial. The emerging and leading scholars writing
in this book negotiate such silences and omissions to reveal how
invisibilitieshave shaped twentieth and twenty-first century
science. Invisibility can be unjust; it can also be powerful. What
is invisible to whom, and when does this matter? How do power
structures built on hierarchies of race, gender, class, and nation
frame what can be seen? And for those observing science: when does
the recovery of the 'invisible' serve social justice and when does
it invade privacy? Tackling head-on the silences and dilemmas that
can haunt historians, this book transforms invisibility into a
guide for exploring the moral sensibilities and politics of science
and its history.
Margaret M. Bruchac is a scholar, writer, and storyteller of
Abenaki, English, and Slovak descent. This is her first published
book of verse. Some pieces were inspired by historical research for
Historic Deerfield, Old Sturbridge Village, the Pocumtuck Valley
Memorial Association, and other museums. As a musician, she also
performs traditional and contemporary Algonkian Indian songs and
stories with her family. Dr. Bruchac is Assistant Professor of
Anthropology and Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous
Studies at the University of Connecticut at Avery Point. Her
academic publications include Indigenous Archaeologies: A Reader in
Decolonization, and articles in the Historical Journal of
Massachusetts and Museum Anthropology, among other venues. As the
2011-2012 recipient of both a Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship
and the Katrin H. Lamon Fellowship, Bruchac is presently in
residence at the School for Advanced Research, completing a book
manuscript for the University of Arizona Press.
