Reviews

The archaeologists in this volume have stepped up to the plate to present a rich selection of essays on how archaeology can be used to promote social justice. As the authors note, public engagement with the past makes archaeology more socially relevant and democratizes knowledge. Little and Shackel are to be commended for their vision of archaeology's future.--Mills, Barbara J.
