The book delves into the role of race and racism in American culture through an archaeological lens, focusing on Annapolis, Maryland, from 1850 to 1930. It analyzes unique African-American consumption patterns that challenged prevailing racist beliefs and illustrated the community's quest for recognition and equality. By utilizing diverse historical and ethnographic resources, the author highlights the resilience and agency of African-Americans in their fight for full citizenship rights amidst a discriminatory society.
