This volume aims to inquire on some of the different political aspects that archaeology should focus on to provide evidence and an understanding of structural violence, inequalities and exclusion, as well as possible ways to contest them. For a while, different contributions have emphasized the need of a political engagement in archaeology to provide some perspective about social and cultural conflictive realities of the past (Chirikure, 2021; Funari et al., 2009; Marín-Aguilera, 2023). Much of this commitment, it has been argued, has to do with a political positioning that is part and parcel of our practice (Hamilakis & Duke, 2007; McGuire, 2008). The main goals of our volume, thus, are to situate politics at the very core of the archaeological enterprise both theoretically and methodologically speaking to make our archaeological interventions a tool and means towards justice and freedom, even when—at times—it will imply to undiscipline the discipline.
