In \u003ci\u003eDetroit Remains: Archaeology and Community Histories of Six Legendary Places\u003c\/i\u003e, Krysta Ryzewski presents six archaeological case studies of legendary Detroit institutions--Little Harry speakeasy, the Ransom Gillis house, the Blue Bird Inn, Gordon Park, the Grande Ballroom, and the Halleck Street log cabin--that trace the contours of the city's underrepresented communities and their relationship to local currents of capitalism and social justice. Through a combination of rigorous historical archaeological research and narrative storytelling, Ryzewski deftly contextualizes the cases within the city's current struggles, including recovery from bankruptcy, and future-oriented recovery efforts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first historical archaeology book focused on Detroit and one of the few to foreground the archaeology of the Great Migration era (ca. 1915-1970). The archaeological scholarship is rooted in collaborative, community-involved, and public-facing initiatives. The case studies examine how power is and has been exercised in Detroit's communities over the past century: how it was stripped from the city's twentieth- and twenty-first-century residents, but also how they acquired alternative sources of agency by establishing creative and illicit economies, most of which still operated within the city's capitalist framework. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout this book, connections run deep between archaeology, heritage, politics, historic preservation, and storytelling. \u003ci\u003eDetroit Remains\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the city's past, present, and future lie not in ruins but in the tangible archaeological traces of the everyday lives of Detroiters and their legacies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Krysta Ryzewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817321047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817321048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 9.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Krysta Ryzewski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086958702847,"sku":"9780817321048","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8c4d06b-10b8-47f3-b64e-b855f1a2d036.jpg?v=1769097482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/detroit-remains-krysta-ryzewski-9780817321048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
