Description

Over the last decade, the field of American historical archaeology has seen enormous growth in the study of people of African descent.

This edited volume is the first dedicated solely to archaeology and the construction of gender in an African American context.

The common thread running through this collection is not a shared definition of gender or an agreed-upon feminist approach, but rather a regional thread, a commitment to understanding ethnicity and gender within the social, political, and ideological structures of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American South.

Taken together, these essays represent a departure in historical archaeology, an important foray into the study of the construction of gender within various African American communities that is based in the archaeological record.

Those interested in historical archaeology, history, women's studies and African American studies will find this a valuable addition to the literature.

Topics range from gendered residential and consumption patterns in colonial Virginia and the construction of identity in Middle Tennessee to midwifery practices in postbellum Louisiana.
