Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia
Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia explores indigenous people's struggle for territorial autonomy in an aggressive political environment and the tensions between heritage tourism and Indigenous rights. South American cases where local communities, especially Indigenous groups, are opposed to infrastructure projects, are little known. This book lays out the results of more than a decade of research in which the resettlement of a pre-Columbian village has been documented. It highlights the difficulty of establishing the link between archaeological sites and objects, and Indigenous people due to legal restrictions. From a decolonial framework, the archaeology of Pueblito Chairama (Teykú) is explored, and the village stands as a model to understand the broader picture of the relationship between Indigenous people and political and economic forces in South America. The book will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology, Heritage and Indigenous Studies who wish to understand the particularities of South American repatriation cases and Indigenous archaeology in the region.
Working as Indigenous Archaeologists
Working as Indigenous Archaeologists explores the often-contentious relationship between Indigenous and other formerly colonized peoples and Archaeology through their own voices. Over the past 35-plus years, the once-novel field of Indigenous Archaeology has become a relatively familiar part of the archaeological landscape. It has been celebrated, criticized, and analyzed as to its practical and theoretical applications, and its political nature. No less important are the life stories of its Indigenous practitioners. What has brought some of them to become practicing archaeologists or heritage managers? What challenges have they faced from both inside and outside their communities? And why h...
The Return of Cultural Heritage to Latin America
The Return of Cultural Heritage to Latin America takes a new approach to the question of returns and restitutions. It is the first publication to look at the domestic politics of claiming countries in order to understand who supports the claims and why. Drawing on analysis of articles published in national newspapers and archival documents and interviews with individuals involved in return claims, the book demonstrates that such claims are inherently political. Focusing on Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, the book analyses how return claims contribute to the strengthening of state-sponsored discourses on the nation; the policy formation process that leads to the formulation of return claims; and ...
Patrimonio arqueológico y pueblos indígenas en el norte de Colombia:
Este libro es una propuesta novedosa, crítica y actualizada que invita a reconsiderar ciertos postulados sobre la arqueología del norte de Colombia. El autor, con base en su experiencia como etnógrafo de la arqueología, hace un análisis de los conflictos inherentes al patrimonio arqueológico regional, dada la existencia de diversas ontologías que determinan visiones y particularidades sobre materialidades llamadas arqueológicas. Para hacer este balance crítico, el libro hace un recuento de cómo surgieron las narrativas arqueológicas regionales, cuáles fueron las relaciones de estas narrativas con determinantes históricos y cómo dichas narrativas son cuestionadas por diversos ac...
Resist, Reclaim, Retrieve
The debate about the return of cultural assets to former colonial territories is highly topical and at the same time much older than most assume. Authors from countries in the Global South and North shed light on the long history of restitution claims from colonised countries. Their research reveals disputes about restitutions sometimes lasting for decades, traces veiled references to colonial violence by the former colonial powers in archives, and discusses what the "homecoming" of human remains can mean for societies.
Karrikadjurren
Presenting a story of art and artists in Gunbalanya, western Arnhem Land between the years 2001 and 2005, this book explores the artistic community surrounding the primary place of art creation and sale in the region, Injalak Arts, an art centre established in the remote Aboriginal community of Gunbalanya. Using a variety of disciplinary approaches including archaeological analysis and material culture studies, anthropology, historical research, oral histories, and reflexive ethnography, the social context of art creation is explored. May argues that Injalak Arts as a place activates and draws together particular social groupings to form a sense of identity and community. It is the nature of...
Aboriginal and European History Past and Present
This book analyses the 150-year history of continuous contact between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in the Darwin region of the Northern Territory of Australia after the European invasion in 1869 to the present day. It explores the role Aboriginal fringe camps served, and still do, as places of interface between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in the context of ongoing colonialism after colonisation. The book argues that Aboriginal fringe camps provide much potential for elucidating aspects of Aboriginal responses to the European invasion and, in a contemporary context, bear distinct evidence of a cultural nature that associates their origins, use, purpose, and func...
Los argonautas del Caribe occidental
Este libro presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la tradición de fabricación de canoas del litoral de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. El autor hace un recuento de las investigaciones arqueológicas en el Caribe que abordan el tema de la cultura de la navegación en la región y toma datos etnográficos de los carpinteros de ribera de Taganga, lo cual permite una mirada crítica sobre la historia y la antropología de ese territorio. En sus páginas, el lector podrá encontrar detalles de la tradición de carpintería de ribera de Taganga, lo que se constituye en un aporte a la labor de arqueólogos y arqueólogas por registrar y comprender el patrimonio cultural sumergido e intermareal de Colombia.
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,...
