Historical Archaeology in Africa : Representation, Social Memory, and Oral Traditions Hardback

Part of the African Archaeology Series series

Hardback

Description

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.
