Decolonizing Latin American Archaeology: “Affective Alliances” with Communities of Practice

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Communities of practice are currently the majority of places in Latin America. They include Indigenous people, “quilombolas,” and their descendants with European and Asian people, living predominantly outside the cities, in the most diverse places, such as the agroforestry communities. Decolonized archaeology has an enormous challenge ahead of it, both in developing diverse research themes as well as establishing an “affective” alliance with such communities by engaging in a genuine dialog among diverse epistemes.
