"I, Too, Am America": Archaeological Studies of African-American Life
Description
This landmark collection brings together archaeological studies that illuminate the diverse experiences of African Americans from the colonial era through the twentieth century. Drawing on artifacts, landscapes, architecture, and historical records, it explores the realities of everyday life, family, community, labor, resistance, and identity across a range of sites and time periods. By centering material evidence often overlooked in traditional histories, the volume reveals how African Americans shaped—and were shaped by—the broader American experience. Scholarly yet accessible, it demonstrates the power of archaeology to recover complex lives and challenge enduring assumptions about the past.
