Globalization forces have created a need for contextualizing knowledge and collaboration across academic disciplines, with successful programs providing power-sharing mechanisms and motivation for more active involvement by lay persons in archaeological fieldwork and interpretation. This volume aims to move community archaeology beyond descriptions of outreach and public engagement to more critical and reflexive actions and thinking, with contributions from 28 chapters and 59 authors covering an extensive geographical range. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27 June 2019\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fields of cultural heritage studies and community archaeology have experienced a remarkable surge in recent years, fueled by expanding discussions on the mechanisms and outcomes of community participation. This trend has ignited intense debates regarding the ownership of the past, the distribution of knowledge, and the effective sharing of heritage values with communities who imbue them with meaning and significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn response to the globalizing forces that have shaped our world, there is a pressing need to contextualize knowledge and foster collaboration across and beyond academic disciplines. This requires the adoption of more integrated methodologies that involve the participation of non-academics and increased stakeholder involvement. Successful programs have implemented power-sharing mechanisms and motivational factors to encourage more active engagement by lay persons in archaeological fieldwork, interpretation, and information dissemination processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the contents of this volume, we aim to push the boundaries of community archaeology beyond mere descriptions of outreach and public engagement to more critical and reflexive actions and thinking. We position the volume within the context of the evolution of cultural heritage studies from the 20th-century \"expert approach\" to the 21st-century \"people-centered approach,\" where public participation and community involvement are integral to decision-making processes at all stages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume comprises 28 chapters authored by 59 distinguished scholars, representing a diverse geographical range, including Africa, South America, Central America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, and Australasia. These chapters offer exemplary cases in the growing lexicon of public archaeology, showcasing power-sharing frameworks within voluntary activism in a wide array of cooperative settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy exploring these themes, this volume seeks to contribute to the ongoing dialogue and advancement of community archaeology, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between heritage, society, and power. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community members alike, as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of preserving and promoting cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 860g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 35 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030143268                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2019                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102692307194,"sku":"9783030143268","price":66.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/53d70824fd6a56639a1993006b7362fc.jpg?v=1628394566","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/transforming-heritage-practice-in-the-21st-century-contributions-from-community-archaeology","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
