Abstract

Starting from a vision of historical archeology as an alternative form of construction of the pasts of subaltern groups, this article proposes to place inside it a line of studies of African-American historical archeology. It is from this type of critical studies that the discipline contributes to the construction of a more plural and democratic society.
