The centrality of Africa to global archaeological thinking is highlighted, with a particular focus on materiality and agency in contemporary interpretation. As a means to explore the nature of theory itself, the volume also addresses differences between how African models are used in western theoretical discourse and the use of that theory within Africa. Providing a key contribution to theoretical discourse through a focus on the context of theory-building, this volume explores how African modes of thought have shaped our approaches to a meaningful past outside of Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timely intervention into archaeological thought, \u003cem\u003eTheory in Africa, Africa in Theory\u003c\/em\u003e deconstructs the conventional ways we approach the past, positioning the continent within a global theoretical discourse and blending Western and African scholarship.
