This new edition of Historical Archaeologies of Capitalism shows
where the study of capitalism leads archaeologists, scholars and
activists. Essays cover a range of geographic, colonial and racist
contexts around the Atlantic basin: Latin America and the
Caribbean, North America, the North Atlantic, Europe and Africa.
Here historical archaeologists use current capitalist theory to
show the results of creating social classes, employing racism and
beginning and expanding the global processes of resource
exploitation. Scholars in this volume also do not avoid the present
condition of people, discussing the lasting effects of
capitalism’s methods, resistance to them, their archaeology and
their point to us now. Chapters interpret capitalism in the past,
the processes that make capitalist expansion possible, and the
worldwide sale and reduction of people. Authors discuss how to
record and interpret these. This book continues a global historical
archaeology, one that is engaged with other disciplines, peoples
and suppressed political and economic histories. Authors in this
volume describe how new identities are created, reshaped and made
to appear natural. Chapters in this second edition also continue to
address why historical archaeologists study capitalism and the
relevance of this work, expanding on one of the important
contributions of historical archaeologies of capitalism: critical
archaeology.

Focusing on everyday rituals, the essays in this volume look at
spheres of social action and the places throughout the Atlantic
world where African descended communities have expressed their
values, ideas, beliefs, and spirituality in material terms. The
contributors trace the impact of encounters with the Atlantic world
on African cultural formation, how entanglement with commerce,
commodification, and enslavement and with colonialism,
emancipation, and self-rule manifested itself in the shaping of
ritual acts such as those associated with birth, death, healing,
and protection. Taken as a whole, the book offers new perspectives
on what the materials of rituals can tell us about the intimate
processes of cultural transformation and the dynamics of the human
condition."
