The use of multiple lines of evidence, combined with a strong GIS component, significantly advances knowledge about racially motivated violence and speaks directly to cultural resilience in the face of power and domination.\"--Charles E. Orser Jr., author of \u003ci\u003eThe Archaeology of Race and Racialization in Historic America\u003c\/i\u003e \"Gonzalez-Tennant's original archaeological analyses reveal new information about the Rosewood pogrom and provide us with significant insights into the nature of racial violence (past and present) in the United States.\"--Randall H. McGuire, author of ?\u003ci\u003eArchaeology as Political Action\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Rosewood Massacre investigates the 1923 massacre that devastated the predominantly African American community of Rosewood, Florida. The town was burned to the ground by neighboring whites, and its citizens fled for their lives. None of the perpetrators were convicted. Very little documentation of the event and the ensuing court hearings survives today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdward Gonzalez-Tennant uses archaeology to uncover important elements of the forgotten history of Rosewood. He draws on cutting-edge GIS mapping, geospatial technology, census data, artifacts from excavations at the site, and archaeological theory to explore the local circumstances and broader sociopolitical power structures that led to the massacre. He shows how the event was a microcosm of the oppression and terror suffered by people of African heritage in the United States, and he connects these historic forms of racial violence to present-day social and racial inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Gonz疝ez-Tennant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813056780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813056784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018","brand":"Edward Gonz疝ez-Tennant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992481759487,"sku":"9780813056784","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53fef6b7-1513-491a-8988-50708107a91c.jpg?v=1683319182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rosewood-massacre-edward-gonz-lez-tennant-9780813056784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
