The Dynamite Bombings of African-American Homes in mid-20th Century Dallas: Anarchistic Perspectives and Resurrecting the Memory of Domestic Terrorism (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Davidson. Edward Gonzalez-Tennant.

A series of dynamite bombings of black residences rocked the communities of Dallas in the 1940s and early 1950s. Although acknowledged by the local and national press while the attacks were ongoing, these events are not a part of the popular or normative history of the city. Current state and federal antiquities laws would almost certainly not perceive these properties as culturally or historically significant, and their materiality could remain unacknowledged and invisible. While the act of...

Embodying Survivance: Western Apache Production Practices in the Reservation Era (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mairead Doery.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Beyond Ornamentation: New Approaches to Adornment and Colonialism" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

European occupation and its impact on local lifestyle: discussing architectural transformations in 20th-century sites in Argentinean Patagonia. (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amalia Nuevo Delaunay.

European lifeways were introduced into Argentinean Patagonia during the 19th century, thus joining this so-called "empty region" to the realm of the dominant global economic model.

Officially, indigenous peoples were to be settled into circumscribed reserves. However, some chose self-appointed...
