description
n Archaeology, archaeologist and ethnohistorian Alice Beck Kehoe presents her key writings where archaeological fieldwork, ethnohistorical analysis, postcolonial anthropology, and feminist analysis intersect to provide students and scholars of anthropology an overview of the methodological and ethical issues in Americanist archaeology in the last thirty years.

Truth and Power in American Archaeology brings together Kehoe's broad-ranging, influential articles and previously unpublished lectures to explore archaeology's history, methods, concepts, and larger imbrication in knowledge production in the West. With her contextualizing introductions, these articles argue for recognition of scientific method in the historical sciences of archaeology, paleontology, and geology; empirically grounded understandings of American First Nations' ways of life and scientific knowledge; discussion of archaeology as expanded histories; a view of American archaeology's social contexts of Manifest Destiny ideology, Cold War politics, and patriarchy; and a postcolonial historicist understanding of America's real deep-time history and of the imperialist racism entrenched in mainstream American archaeology.


Alice Beck Kehoe is a professor of anthropology emeritus at Marquette University. She is the author or editor of twenty-one books, including North America before the European Invasions; The Land of Prehistory: A Critical History of American Archaeology; and Girl Archaeologist: Sisterhood in a Sexist Profession (Nebraska, 2022).
