Grounded in the emerging field of critical archival studies, this book uncovers how dominant western archival theories and practices are oppressive by design, while looking toward the the radical politics of community archives to envision new liberatory theories and practices. Based on more than a decade of ethnography at community archives sites including the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA), the book explores how members of minoritized communities activate records to build solidarities across and within communities, trouble linear progress narratives, and disrupt cycles of oppression. Caswell explores the temporal, representational, and material aspects of liberatory memory work, arguing that archival disruptions in time and space should be neither about the past nor the future, but about the liberatory affects and effects of memory work in the present. Urgent Archives extends the theoretical range of critical archival studies and provides a new framework for archivists looking to transform their practices. The book should also be of interest to scholars of archival studies, museum studies, public history, memory studies, gender and ethnic studies and digital humanities"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in Archives 606 $aArchivists$zUnited States$xTraining of 606 $aArchives$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aArchives$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSouth Asian Americans$vArchives 615 0$aArchivists$xTraining of. 615 0$aArchives$xSocial aspects 615 0$aArchives$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSouth Asian Americans 676 $a020.973 700 $aCaswell$b Michelle$01135101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910727248003321 996 $aUrgent archives$93381598 997 $aUNINA
