The renewed protests against racism and police brutality over the last year have supplied a fresh impetus for thinking about the nature of capitalism, its relationship to racism, and the construction of alternatives to both.

Few thinkers speak more directly to such issues than Frantz Fanon, the Martinican philosopher, psychiatrist, and revolutionary who is widely considered one of the twentieth century’s foremost thinkers on race and racism. Fanon had direct experience of French colonial rule, from the Caribbean to North Africa, and brought that experience to bear on his intellectual work. He played an active role in the Algerian revolutionary movement that struggled for independence in the 1950s, but he warned that independent African states would simply replace the colonial system with a national bourgeoisie unless they followed the path of social revolution.

Von Steuben had been summoned by Benjamin Franklin to train the Continental Army, at a time when the Prussian was being hounded in his homeland by rumors of his homosexuality, writes journalist Randy Shilts in Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military. After serving as a major general in the war, and as George Washington’s chief of staff, von Steuben did not marry but rather moved upstate with two young men whom he legally adopted as his heirs. In his time in the military, von Steuben often passed through Williamsburg, Virginia.

Today, the city would be unrecognizable to the general, except perhaps for the living-history museum known as Colonial Williamsburg. “Desire is nothing new,” says Michael Bronski, a historian at Harvard University and author of A Queer History of the United States.

When considering subsurface archaeological resources, it is often helpful (and sometimes necessary), to use equipment that allows the archaeologist to see below the surface without digging.

When hearths or the burned remains of living structures left behind by American Indians are expected at an archaeological site, magnetic gradiometry and resistivity methods allow the archaeologist to conduct wide-area subsurface investigation without destruction.
