Local Voices, Global Debates
What is the role of local Caribbean individuals and communities in creating and perpetuating archaeological heritage? How has archaeological knowledge been integrated into education plans in different countries? This book aims to fill a gap in both archaeological scholarship and popular knowledge by providing a platform for local Caribbean voices to speak about the archaeological heritage of their region. To achieve this, each chapter of the book focuses on identifying and developing strategies that academics, heritage practitioners, and non-scholars from the insular Caribbean can adopt to stimulate a necessary dialogue on how archaeological heritage is used and produced on various academic,...
Parental Discretion Is Advised
"Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella caused a seismic shift in hip-hop when they decided to form N.W.A in 1986. Suddenly rap became gangsta and relevant on the West Coast. With their hard-core image, bombastic sound, and lyrics that were by turns poetic, lascivious, socially conscious, and downright in-your-face, N.W.A spoke the truth about life on the streets of Compton, California--at the time a hotbed of poverty, drugs, gangs, and unemployment. Their hood tales offered a sharp contrast to the cozy, comfortable images of thriving middle-class life emanating from television screens across America. For the group, making music was not about being nice or projecting a false reality...

Across the Boundaries of Race & Class
First published in 1994. Almost fifteen years after this study was written, many social changes have occurred affecting domestic service; yet some things remain the same. Among the changes are the increased labor force participation rates of women and the resultant rise in the demand for private household help. This volume is part of the Studies on African American History and Culture series, looking at the role, occupation, impact of race and employee relationships of black domestic servants. It also includes three case studies, stories of resistant and families and children. Across the Boundaries of Race and Class was one of the earliest attempts to examine the ways the structure and organization of housework as women’s work influenced the work and family lives of domestic workers. As pointed out in the book, the women who were the subjects of this study exemplified a pattern of domestic work that was fading even as it was being studied: most worked for one family for twenty to thirty years.
Across the Boundaries of Race and Class

Versklavung im Atlantischen Raum
Im Kontext des Cultural Heritage Booms sind Erinnerungsorte an Versklavung und Kolonialismus ein Feld gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Das wurde im Jahr 2020 in der Black Lives Matter Bewegung sichtbar. In der International Decade for People of African Descent (2015–2024) wird in Europa, Afrika und den Amerikas diskutiert, wie an Versklavung erinnert werden soll, wer sich bei wem entschuldigen soll und wer wen entschädigen soll. Die Autorin untersucht historische Schauplätze von Versklavung und Profittransfer, Museen, Monumente und Gedenkzeremonien in Frankreich und Spanien, Martinique und Kuba. In Interviews in den europäischen Haupt- und Hafenstädten hat sie eruiert, wer sich für oder ...
