Showcasing case studies from Africa, Australia, Mesoamerica, and North and South America, this edited volume highlights the work of archaeologists who study indigenous peoples and histories at multiple scales. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors explore how the inclusion of indigenous histories, and collaboration with contemporary communities and scholars across the subfields of anthropology, can reframe archaeologies of colonialism. The cross-cultural case studies employ a broad range of methodological strategies--archaeology, ethnohistory, archival research, oral histories, and descendant perspectives--to better appreciate processes of colonialism. The authors argue that these more complicated histories of colonialism contribute not only to understandings of past contexts but also to contemporary social justice projects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn each chapter, authors move beyond an academic artifice of \"prehistoric\" and \"colonial\" and instead focus on longer sequences of indigenous histories to better understand colonial contexts. Throughout, each author explores and clarifies the complexities of indigenous daily practices that shape, and are shaped by, long-term indigenous and local histories by employing an array of theoretical tools, including theories of practice, agency, materiality, and temporality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded are larger integrative chapters by Kent Lightfoot and Patricia Rubertone, foremost North American colonialism scholars who argue that an expanded global perspective is essential to understanding processes of indigenous-colonial interactions and transitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxine Oland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816542570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816542574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Maxine Oland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756828717311,"sku":"9780816542574","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11caedbe-9d36-40a7-91ba-da4f0919e53b.jpg?v=1706593941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonizing-indigenous-histories-maxine-oland-9780816542574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
