Reviews

In common with other postcolonial archaeology publications, this one emphasizes that Indigenous tends to be equated with timeless, tradition-bound, non-Western, endangered-in a word, a euphemism for primitive . That colonized peoples are generally poor tends to be glossed over. A strength of this book is that many authors make this clear. Most of the chapters are well written, interesting, and deepen understanding of what indigenous  may entail. A. B. Kehoe, Marquette University
