Description
The question of ethnicity is highly controversial in contemporary archaeology. Indigenous and nationalist claims to territory often rely on reconstructions of the past based on the traditional identification of 'cultures' from archaeological remains.
Siân Jones responds to the need for a reassessment of the ways in which social groups are identified in the archaeological record, with a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity in the human sciences. In doing so, she argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity, as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation.
In The Archaeology of Ethnicity, Jones presents her arguments and insights with clarity and depth, making a significant contribution to the field.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Minerva praises the book for developing "a new framework for the analysis of ethnicity in archaeology that has methodological, interpretative and political implications." The New Scientist describes it as "powerful and definitive." The Times Literary Supplement highlights its coherence and style in synthesising and critiquing a complex history of ideas, emphasising its timely contribution to the recognition of ethnicity's relativity in archaeology. The Archaeological Journal calls it "a 'must' for archaeologists considering aspects of ethnic identity," while ARC appreciates its usefulness in summarising a long and complicated discussion on ethnicity.
