Description:
This comprehensive study of the historical archaeology of the Caribbean provides sociopolitical context for the ongoing development of national identities; points to the future by suggesting different trajectories that historical archaeology and its practitioners may take in the Caribbean arena; and elucidates the problems and issues faced worldwide by researchers working in colonial and post-colonial societies.
Review Quotes: "A splendid contribution to Caribbean history and archaelogy with an admirable focus on both African and European lives and experiences. Farnsworth should be commended for this excellent work."Samuel M. Wilson, University of Texas-Austin
