Summary:In this essay, we comment upon the challenges of doing a certain type of archaeology in a postcolonial world, and do so from two different perspectives: McGhee is an African-American "CRM" archaeologist working in the private sector, and McDavid is a European-American "public archaeologist" working in the academic/nonprofit sector. Both work within one particularly fraught social and political context: the historical archaeology of African America. Mc-Ghee will elaborate on this context in more detail.
