These Knots Cannot Be Untangled
Queer theory in archaeology has matured from exploring nonnormative genders and sexualities to an intersectional framework that interrogates and challenges categories long held as natural and essential. Using this framework, I apply the theories of Butler and Bhabha to explore the intersectionality of class, gender, and race and how they form in context and in concert with each other. Wiawaka Holiday House, founded in 1903 on Lake George, New Yor…

Double Consciousness and the Intersections of Beliefs in an African American Home in Northern New Jersey
The Power of Choice
The choices people make concerning food involve decisions well beyond biological sustenance. Food procurement and consumption, as well as the way in which a dish is served, are choices that are embedded with both overt and less obvious implications of social aspirations and validations (McKee 1999; Reitz, Ruff, and Zierden 2006). Food and the means by which it is prepared and consumed embody and communicate cultural traditions, as well as factors…
