Winner of the University of Mary Washington Center for Historic Preservation 2022 Book Prize and the 2023 James Deetz Book AwardAn archaeologically grounded history of six legendary places in DetroitThe city of Detroit has endured periods of unprecedented industrial growth, decline, and revitalization between the late nineteenth century and the present. In Detroit Remains: Archaeology and Community Histories of Six Legendary Places, Krysta Ryzewski presents six archaeological case studies of legendary Detroit institutionsLittle Harry speakeasy, the Ransom Gillis house, the Blue Bird Inn, Gordon Park, the Grande Ballroom, and the Halleck Street log cabinthat trace the contours of the citys underrepresented communities and their relationship to local currents of capitalism and social justice. Through a combination of rigorous historical archaeological research and narrative storytelling, Ryzewski deftly contextualizes the cases within the citys current struggles, including recovery from bankruptcy, and futureoriented recovery efforts.This is the first historical archaeology book focused on Detroit and one of the few to foreground the archaeology of the Great Migration era (ca. 19151970). The archaeological scholarship is rooted in collaborative, communityinvolved, and publicfacing initiatives. The case studies examine how power is and has been exercised in Detroits communities over the past century: how it was stripped from the citys twentieth and twentyfirstcentury residents, but also how they acquired alternative sources of agency by establishing creative and illicit economies, most of which still operated within the citys capitalist framework.Throughout this book, connections run deep between archaeology, heritage, politics, historic preservation, and storytelling. Detroit Remains demonstrates how the citys past, present, and future lie not in ruins but in the tangible archaeological traces of the everyday lives of Detroiters and their legacies.
