The latest issue of World Archaeology is entirely given over to “race, racism and archaeology”: “race and racism have been subjects of much discussion throughout the humanities and social sciences, but archaeology has not participated in these discussions as fully as it might. This volume aims to aid as a spur to further discussion. Considerable debate revolves around whether racism is a modern phenomenon or is found more generally in human history.”
Sample articles:
“‘Arierdammerung’: race and archaeology in Nazi Germany”
“Proto-racism in Graeco-Roman antiquity”
“Race and ethnicity in Mesopotamian antiquity”
