Popis: | Archaeologists’ growing interest in global manifestations of racialization invite explorations of the subject in cases such as the 19th-century Florida Seminole leader named Osceola. Methodologies that lend themselves to the study of racialized human remains, historical places, material culture, and texts are necessary for the development of archaeological approaches to different forms of available evidence. Ideologies and intellectual discourses are important forces and products of racialization, whose influence is marked in cases like that of Osceola. Theories of racial representation and racialization provide useful methods for deconstructing images, uncovering politicaleconomic interests, and identifying biases of various sources. These are a part of the conceptual toolkit that is necessary for archaeologists to develop a more cosmopolitan practice. |
