Community Archaeology and Heritage in Africa provides new insights into the distinctive contributions that community archaeology makes to the decolonization of archaeological practice. Using innovative approaches, contributors share important initiatives taken by communities to protect and revitalize their heritage, initiatives that involve archaeologists as co-producers and not as leaders. Giving up traditional power over research design and implementation, these African examples demonstrate an exciting capacity to move the discipline forward to achieve its potential as a broader, more accessible, and more inclusive discipline.
