Historical archeology studies once relied upon a binary view of
colonialism: colonizers and colonized, the colonial period and the
postcolonial period. The international contributors to this volume
scrutinize imperialism and expansionism through an alternative lens
that looks beyond simple dualities to explore 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 study of the lasting consequences of ancient
and modern colonialism on descendant communities, this wideranging
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
colonialfutures.
