“This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in doing more subversive and committed work in the field of social archaeology, now that it has a critical theoretical framework…One of the strengths of this publication is that the narratives arising through the different chapters of this book will contribute to fostering archaeologies and heritage management commitments to addressing contemporary issues and proposing more diverse, dialogic, and reflexive methods.” • Public Archaeology “… this is a strong and coherent collection of papers which constitutes an advancement of the field of public archaeology. The volume exemplifies many of the most important themes, practices and processes of contemporary public archaeology, such as the politics of the past and the socio-economic-political contexts in which archaeologists operate.” • Gabriel Moshenska, UCL Institute of Archaeology
