4.9/5 (29923 ratings)

Description:Exploring a wide range of settings and circumstances in which individuals or groups of people have been forced to move from one geographical location to another, the case studies in this volume demonstrate what archaeology can reveal about the agents, causes, processes, and effects of human removal.Contributors focus on material culture and the built environment at colonial villages, frontier farms, industrial complexes, natural disaster areas, and other sites of removal dating from the colonization of North America to the present. They investigate topics including the link between mapmaking and the relocation of Mississippi Chickasaw people to Oklahoma; the establishment of the National Park Service and the displacement of Appalachian mountain communities; and the creation of neighborhoods as a way to maintain cultural identities by occupants of Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.The archaeologists in this volume broaden our understanding of displacement by identifying parallels with removal experiences occurring today. As they shed light on ongoing global problems of removal, these case studies point to ways descendants, victims, and indigenous people have sought and continue to seek social justice.Contributors: Alex J. Flick - Julia A. King - Morris K. Jackson - Tom Middlebrook - Stefan Woehlke - Matthew Reeves - Adam Fracchia - Audrey Horning - April Kamp - Maria Theresia Starzmann - Charles E.
