Historical Archaeology in Africa is an inquiry into historical
questions that count, proposing different ways of thinking about
historical archaeology. Peter Schmidt challenges readers to expand
their horizons . Confronting topics of oral traditions, the role of
cultural landscapes in social memory, and historical
misrepresentations of various cultures, Schmidt calls for a new
pathway to an enriched, more nuanced, and more inclusive historical
archaeology. Allowing Africa to speak for itself without colonial
interpreters, Historical Archaeology in Africa will be of interest
not only to historians and archaeologists, but to all concerned
with Africa's past and present.
