| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11702 Archaeology and post-colonialism in South Africa : the theory, practice and politics of archaeology after apartheid Shepherd, Nick Hall, Martin Archaeology Includes bibliographical references I take my lead from a paper by Bruce Trigger (1984) in which he divides the disciplinary field into three modes or forms of archaeology: a colonialist archaeology, a nationalist archaeology and an imperialist archaeology. He goes on to suggest (1990) that South African archaeology is the most colonialist archaeology of all. Trigger was writing at a point before the current political transformation in South Africa had emerged over the horizon of visibility. Writing somewhat later, and from the point of view of a Third World archaeologist, I ask: What would a post-colonial archaeology look like? In particular, what would it look like from the point of view of South Africa in the late 1990s? 2015-01-07T13:36:59Z 2015-01-07T13:36:59Z 1998 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11702 eng application/pdf Department of Archaeology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
