"Made Radical By My Own": Acknowledging the Debt Owed to Larry Zimmerman in Radicalizing Me
Author(s): George Nicholas
Year: 2018
Summary
All archaeology is ultimately autobiographical; our interests and intentions are intimately shaped by both people and circumstances, which sometimes are not recognized until later. An unexpected change in my own career path in the 1990s brought me into Larry Zimmerman’s orbit. His work with and for marginalized peoples, his activism, and his strong ethical stance have grounded me ever since. In this presentation I take a personal approach to discussing Larry’s influence on Archaeology in general and on (some) archaeologists in particular, I also discuss the value of understanding the biographical dimensions of the discipline and to what constitutes good practice in working with and for descendant communities.
