This volume brings together current work on the theory and practice of critical public archaeology from Europe and the United States to illustrate the ways that implementing critical approaches can introduce new understandings of the past and reveal new insights on the present. Contributors to this volume explore public perceptions of museum interpretations as well as public archaeology projects related to changing perceptions of immigration, the working classes, and race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in doing more subversive and committed work in the field of social archaeology, now that it has a critical theoretical framework…One of the strengths of this publication is that the narratives arising through the different chapters of this book will contribute to fostering archaeologies and heritage management commitments to addressing contemporary issues and proposing more diverse, dialogic, and reflexive methods.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Public Archaeology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“… this is a strong and coherent collection of papers which constitutes an advancement of the field of public archaeology.
