Archaeological Theory and the Politics of Cultural Heritage by Laurajane Smith

This is a much-needed survey of how relationships between indigenous peoples and the archaeological establishment have got into difficulties, and a pointer towards how things could move forward.

'Essential reading.. Well-written [and] easy to follow ... a useful companion volume.' - Rodney Harrison, The Australian National University

'Laurajane Smith has produced a significant work that will hopefully stimulate archaeological departments in South African universities to pay more attention to educating future CRM practitioners. This book is compulsory reading for CRM practitioners, archaeology students and their professors alike.' – South African Archaeological Bulletin
