Lynn Meskell on the Hope for Archaeology

An aware, responsible and engaged global archaeology might be a relevant, positive force which recognizes and celebrates difference, diversity and real multivocality.... Under... common skies and before divided horizons... exposure to global difference and alterity prompts us all to seek responses and responsibility. In the process, knowledge and culture can be reworked, and with them, power and politics.
