American things, American material culture, and American
archaeology are the themes of this book. The authors use goods used
or made in America to illuminate issues such as tenancy, racism,
sexism, and regional bias. Contributors utilize data about everyday
objects - from tin cans and bottles to namebrand items, from fish
bones to machinery - to analyze the way American capitalism works.
Their cogent analyses take us literally from broken dishes to the
international economy. Especially notable chapters examine how an
archaeologist formulates questions about exploitation under
capitalism, and how the study of artifacts reveals African-American
middle class culture and its response to racism.
