Raphael Greenberg and Yannis Hamilakis, Archaeology, Nation, and Race. Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel

Reviewed by: Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel by Raphael Greenberg and Yannis Hamilakis Dimitri Nakassis (bio) Raphael Greenberg and Yannis Hamilakis, Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2022. Pp. xvi + 218. 25 figures. Paperback $25.99. In a seminal article in 1973, David Clarke declared archaeology’s “loss of innocence,” which he understood as the ongoing process of critical disciplinary definition. Clarke’s paper sketched the radical changes, especially the renewed interest in theory, that then roiled the discipline. Fifty years later, Raphael Greenberg and Yannis Hamilakis present a discussion of a new loss of innocence (161) and a new horizon in archaeology’s development, one that promises to be fertile ground for future exploration. Their aim is to expose archaeology’s “deep roots in colonialism and racism” and “to rebuild archaeology on entirely new foundations” (3). Their method for doing so is not a conventional academic monograph, but rather a series of structured conversations with themselves as interlocutors. Individual chapters focus on archaeology’s colonial origins, its practice in crypto-colonial contexts, the notion of purification, the role of nationalism and race in the development of the discipline, and decolonization. These themes are explored through engagement with the archaeology and politics of the modern nations of Israel and Greece. Clarke (1973, 8) observed that “each archaeology is of its time,” and this book is especially and avowedly so. The influence of the Black Lives Matter movement in particular, but also that of the pandemic, are tangibly felt and indeed highlighted by the authors (3). The book owes its genesis to a seminar taught by the authors at Brown University in the spring of 2020, followed by conversations via video conferencing during the lockdown. It is perhaps unsurprising, therefore, that the main novelty of this book, at least for this reviewer, is its emphasis on race in Mediterranean archaeology. In a Greek context, of course, the issue of race has become especially pressing with the rise of racialized politics and violence against migrants from Africa and Asia, prompting a growing interest in race among Greek scholars (e.g., Avdela et al. 2017). What emerges clearly from that research and the present book is how powerful a lens race is for the study of archaeology’s development: it is critical for analysis not only of the present state of the discipline but also of its history, and it is a sufficiently productive frame that it must be considered on a par with the concept of the nation, to which it has long been subordinated (Hamilakis 2007, 2020). Greenberg and Hamilakis range widely over a broad intellectual terrain. A brief introduction to the authors’ intellectual histories and orientations (chapter 1) sets the stage for an engaging discussion in chapter 2 about the origins and historical trajectories of Greek and Israeli archaeologies. [End Page 149] Crypto-colonialism—that fertile concept first articulated by Michael Herzfeld (2002)—is the subject of chapter 3, which provides a productive lens for comparison of the Greek and Israeli cases and their “superimposed colonialisms” (58). Chapter 4 focuses on archaeology as purification, from the practice of removing material traces and communities seen as out of place to the archaeological desire for purity of categories (e.g., the hard boundaries between chronological periods). Race is the analytical focus of chapter 5, which concludes with a detailed discussion of archaeogenetic studies and the ways that they re-inscribe racial categories. The penultimate chapter (chapter 6) meditates on decolonization, understood not simply as an academic endeavor but as a broad political project. A short conclusion (chapter 7) summarizes the aims of the volume. This is an important book that should have a significant impact on archaeology, for it sets an ambitious agenda for the future of the discipline. Greenberg and Hamilakis’s goal is nothing less than an emancipatory archaeology with the potential to liberate us all from the coloniality that defines our relationship with the past and present (171). Greece and Israel are potent sites for such an undertaking, both because of the dense entanglement of the ancient...

European Journal of Archaeology 18:4 (2015) 705-708 Review of Yannis Hamilakis. Archaeology and The Senses: Human Experience, Memory, and Affect (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013, xiii + 255pp., 26 b/w figs., hbk, ISBN Yannis Hamilakis provides a very different framework for incorporating the senses into the construction of the past using archaeological research – a framework that might be a challenge for those who understand the senses as a tool to enrichen and elaborate their interpretations and explanations of archaeological data. In this book Hamilakis turns on its head the traditional understanding of the senses as epiphenomena of more powerful forces that drive history by forefronting them as the driving forces in a history that is constructed as the affective, event-based, and practice-oriented construction about real people. To those who have read other works by Hamilakis, the clear explication of his anti-modernist anti-colonialist standpoint that is expressed from the outset will be familiar. But there are a number of aspects of his writing in this book that were new to me, including some very intimate and poetic narratives. However, the general thesis that he puts forward was not entirely unexpected, since I had heard and seen its prelude in his Afterword to Making Senses of the Past edited by Jo Day (Hamilakis, 2013). The book under review is called Archaeology and the Senses in order to draw away from the idea that it is an Archaeology of the Senses or a Sensorial Archaeology, which Hamilakis is at pains to repeat throughout the volume it definitely is not. He is quite explicit that this volume is not a proposal to create a new sub- discipline in archaeology. It is a proposal to look at what we do as archaeologists in a quite different way by enlisting sensorial experience. This would not be such a novel proposition, given the recent interest in phenomenology and sensorial experience in the broader fields of archaeology, anthropology, history and geography. But Hamilakis puts forward what seems to me a quite novel way of incorporating sensoriality into our interpretations of the past as well as what we do as archaeologists, and how we do it. What he writes here is relevant not just for archaeologists working in the field, but also cultural heritage and museum professionals. As he points out, whether we are speaking of the world of the past or present, ʻThere has always been a tension between the anarchic and messy world of the senses …, and the often politically motivated attempts by various people and groups to regulate and channel sensorial experience, often using material culture and physical and built space.ʼ (p.15). In Chapter 1, Hamilakis introduces this different approach to the senses. Many of the arguments of going beyond the strict boundaries of empirical observations of archaeological materials in order to build sensorial awareness of the past have been covered by contributions to Making Senses of the Past (Day 2013). Hamilakis’ aim is not to re-present the past but to evoke its presence (see page 6). After the fiery introductory chapter, Hamilakis starts his Chapter 2 with a genealogy of sensoriality in the context of western Modernism. ʻI show that the construction of the Western sensorium in modernity is embedded within the colonial and national nexus of power.. ʼ (p. 13). His aim is to provide the background to how western modernist archaeologists incorporated the five bodily senses into their research. This latter topic forms the second half of this chapter in which he traces how ʻthe official archaeological apparatusʼ separated the visual from the multi-sensorial experience and gave it a privileged focus, all as part of a project to regulate and control the uncontrollable senses, especially the ʻless remoteʼ ones
