Reviews

An extraordinarily stimulating and provocative book, rich in ides and suggested new directions for archaeology. -Choice Charles Orser outlines a research strategy for studying poverty and racism that is worthy of historical archaeology... Much of this book is devoted to dealing with how people come to be worthy of being despised, usually by being seen as belonging to biologically inferior groups. -Journal of Anthropological Research
