The reader is asked to engage actively with stories that stand outside typical conventions of scholarly narratives, and the quality of the writing makes that an easy task...Blurring ideas of time and space allow other critical aspects of the tangible and intangible to come into sharp focus, and gently provoke new ways of thinking and knowing."</em> <strong>- Jane Baxter</strong>, DePaul University</p> <p> <em>"This collection represents contemporary archaeological praxis that realigns the possibilities of archaeological theory through radical, brave, and at times vulnerable intersectional standpoints that inform a new way forward. The case studies, analysis, and life stories stay with you after you read it; it haunts you."</em> <strong>- Uzma Z. Rizvi</strong>, Pratt Institute</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Amanda E.
