Description: An exploration of the archaeology of the African diaspora.
Review Quotes: "The editors provide a succinct introduction to the volume that identifies key themes and weave a web connecting the various essays that follow...It is impossible to do these papers justice in a brief review. However, the vast scope of the volume, which includes papers based on work throughout the New World, West Africa, and into the Indian Ocean basin, provides a refreshing change of perspective for those whose work is mostly on the North American continent. Slavery and the African Diaspora are brought home as world-wide phenomena, the continuing analysis of which requires a comparative perspective that is as broad as is the phenomena itself." - John P. McCarthy, African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter
