GREECE; ISRAEL

The book "Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel" by Raphael Greenberg and Yannis Hamilakis explores the role of archaeology in the construction of national identity in Greece and Israel. The authors argue that this archaeology contributes to the crypto-colonization of these states. The book raises questions about the potential crypto-colonialism of Establishment Science and calls for a critical examination of scientific practices. The review highlights fifteen key concepts discussed in the book that shed light on the possibility of adopting a critical approach to crypto-colonial science. The review concludes by praising the book's format as a genuine and engaging dialogue between the authors. [Extracted from the article]
