Historical archaeology studies once relied upon a binary view of
colonialism: colonizers and colonized, the colonial period and the
postcolonial period. The contributors to this volume scrutinize
imperialism and expansionism through an alternative lens that
rejects simple dualities and explores the variously gendered,
racialized, and occupied peoples of a multitude of faiths, desires,
associations, and constraints. Colonialism is not a phase in the
chronology of a people but a continuous phenomenon that spans the
Old and New Worlds. Most important, the contributors argue that its
impacts-and, in some instances, even the same processes set in
place by the likes of Columbus-are ongoing.Inciting a critical
examination of the lasting consequences of ancient and modern
colonialism on descendant communities, this wide-ranging volume
includes essays on Roman Britain, slavery in Brazil, and
contemporary Native Americans. In its efforts to define the scope
of colonialism and the comparability of its features, this
collection challenges the field to go beyond familiar geographical
and historical boundaries and draws attention to unfolding colonial
futures.
