Archaeology is the only discipline that allows us to take a
long-term view across all forms of colonialism, from the Uruk
cities of early Mesopotamia, through the empires of the Romans and
the Aztecs, to the colonies of modern European states. In this
innovative study, Chris Gosden presents a comparative survey of
5000 years of colonialism. Defining colonialism as, crucially, a
relationship with material culture, destabilising of older values,
changing both incomers and natives, Gosden attempts to understand
the history of power, how it is exercised through material culture
and how this understanding can generate new notions of interaction
and encounter. By defining colonialism through its relationship
with material culture, Gosden argues that modern colonialism,
giving rise to settler societies, is historically unusual.
Synthesising theoretical approaches and evidence from a broad span
of colonial regions, this book provides an important new field of
enquiry connecting historic and prehistoric archaeology.
