Material Worlds examines consumption from an archaeological
perspective, broadly exploring the intersection of social relations
and objects through the processes of production, distribution, use,
reuse, and discard. Interrogating individual objects as well as
considering the contexts in which acts of consumption take place, a
range of case studies present the intertwined issues of power,
inequality, identity, and community as mediated through choice,
access, and use of the diversity of mass-produced goods. Key themes
of this innovative volume include the relationship between
colonial, political and economic structures and the practices of
consumption, the use of consumer goods in the construction and
negotiation of identity, and the dialectic between strategies of
consumption and individual or community choices. Situating studies
of consumerism within the field of historical archaeology, this
exciting collection reflects on the interrelationship between the
material and ideological aspects of culture. With a focus on North
America from the seventeenth through the early twentieth centuries,
Material Worlds is an important examination of consumption which
will appeal to scholars with interests in colonialism, gender and
race, as well as those engaged with the material culture of the
emergent modern world.
