(Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball, 2015) 9781868426782. Foreword by Pippa Skotnes. 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp. (viii) + 117 + (i); profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs. Fine condition. "Human archaeology in southern Africa has since its beginnings been implicated in the projects of evolutionism and biological racism. Nick Shepherd's delvings into the underground of the discipline are part of an honourable effort to save archaeology from its past, an effort that starts with recognising dig sites for what they have always been: the sacred ground of the dispossessed. The Mirror in the Ground offers us a fresh way of looking at the photographic archive, with a commentary as moving and compassionate as it is unsettling." - JM Coetzee .
