Decolonizing "prehistory" : deep time and Indigenous knowledges in North America / edited by Gesa Mackenthun and Christen Mucher.
"Decolonizing "Prehistory" critically examines and challenges the paradoxical role that modern historical-archaeological scholarship plays in adding legitimacy to, but also delegitimizing, contemporary colonialist practices. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this volume empowers Indigenous voices and offers a nuanced understanding of the American deep past." -- Provided by publisher.
