Rethinking Colonial Pasts Through Archaeology
This work explores the archaeologies of daily living left by the indigenous and other displaced peoples impacted by European colonial expansion over the last 600 years. Case studies from North America, Australia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Ireland significantly revise conventional historical narratives of those interactions, their presumed impacts, and their ongoing relevance for the material, social, economic, and political lives and identities of contemporary indigenous and other peoples.
Coloniality in the Maya Lowlands
Coloniality in the Maya Lowlands explores what has been required of the Maya to survive both internal and external threats and other destabilizing forces. These include shifting power dynamics and sociocultural transformations, tumultuous political regimes, the precarity of newly formed nation states, migration in search of refuge, and newly globalizing economies in the Yucatecan lowlands in the Late Colonial to Early National periods—the times when formal Spanish colonial rule was giving way to Yucatecan and Mexican neocolonial settler systems. The work takes a hemispheric approach to the historical and material analysis of colonialism, bridging the often disparate literatures on colonial...
On Coerced Labor
On Coerced Labor focuses on those forms of labor relations that have been overshadowed by the “extreme” categories (wage labor and chattel slavery) in the historiography. It covers types of work lying between what the law defines as “free labor” and “slavery.” The frame of reference is the observation that although chattel slavery has largely been abolished in the course of the past two centuries, other forms of coerced labor have persisted in most parts of the world. While most nations have increasingly condemned the continued existence of slavery and the slave trade, they have tolerated labor relationships that involve violent control, economic exploitation through the appropriation of labor power, restriction of workers’ freedom of movement, and fraudulent debt obligations. Contributors are: Lisa Carstensen, Christian G. De Vito, Justin F. Jackson, Christine Molfenter, David Palmer, Nicola Pizzolato, Luis F.B. Plascencia, Magaly Rodríguez García, Kelvin Santiago-Valles, Nicole J. Siller, Marcel van der Linden, Sven Van Melkebeke.
Gendered Crossings
Gendered Crossings brings to life the diverse settings of the Iberian Atlantic and the transformations in the peasants' gendered experiences as they moved around the Spanish Empire.
Micro-Spatial Histories of Global Labour
This volume suggests a new way of doing global history. Instead of offering a sweeping and generalizing overview of the past, we propose a ‘micro-spatial’ approach, combining micro-history with the concept of space. A focus on primary sources and awareness of the historical discontinuities and unevennesses characterizes the global history that emerges here. We use labour as our lens in this volume. The resulting micro-spatial history of labour addresses the management and recruitment of labour, its voluntary and coerced spatial mobility, its political perception and representation and the workers’ own agency and social networks. The individual chapters are written by contributors whose expertise covers the late medieval Eastern Mediterranean to present-day Sierra Leone, through early modern China and Italy, eighteenth-century Cuba and the Malvinas/Falklands, the journeys of a missionary between India and Brazil and those of Christian captives across the Ottoman empire and Spain. The result is a highly readable volume that addresses key theoretical and methodological questions in historiography. Chapter 7 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
Archaeologies of Internment
The internment of civilian and military prisoners became an increasingly common feature of conflicts in the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Prison camps, though often hastily constructed and just as quickly destroyed, have left their marks in the archaeological record. Due to both their temporary nature and their often sensitive political contexts, places of internment present a unique challenge to archaeologists and heritage managers. As archaeologists have begun to explore the material remains of internment using a range of methods, these interdisciplinary studies have demonstrated the potential to connect individual memories and historical debates to the fragmentary material ...
Araucanía-Norpatagonia

Global Archaeological Theory
Archaeological theory has gone through a great upheaval in the last 50 years – from the processual theory, which wanted to make archaeology more "scientific" to post-processual theory, which understands that interpreting human behavior (even of past cultures) is a subjective study. This subjective approach incorporates a plurality of readings, thereby implying that different interpretations are always possible, allowing us to modify and change our ideas under the light of new information and/or interpretive frameworks. In this way, interpretations form a continuous flow of transformation and change, and thus archaeologists do not uncover a real past but rather construct a historical past o...
Organizar la diferencia
¿Por qu? estudiar Floridablanca desde las pr?cticas sociales? Este libro presenta un abordaje al rol del consumo de bienes en la negociaci?n de las identidades y el mundo material en un contexto colonial. A partir de la tensi?n entre discursos coloniales y pr?cticas sociales es posible indagar en la estructuraci?n social de la Colonia espa?ola de Floridablanca (costa patag?nica, siglo XVIII). Con esta perspectiva se busca explicitar las categor?as que construyen el mundo moderno, contemplando las particularidades de los contextos as? como los diferentes grupos sociales involucrados.Marcia Bianchi Villelli es Licenciada en Ciencias Antropol?gicas (con orientaci?n en Arqueolog?a) de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Actualmente se desempe?a como Becaria Doctoral de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Su l?nea de investigaci?n es la Arqueolog?a Hist?rica y Urbana, especializada en el estudio hist?rico y arqueol?gico de la colonizaci?n espa?ola de Patagonia. Sus temas de inter?s se centran en la discusi?n y deconstrucci?n de las categor?as que construyen el mundo moderno con especial inter?s en el rol del mundo material en la estructuraci?n de las relaciones sociales.
Arqueología e historia en la colonia española de Floridablanca, Patagonia, siglo XVIII
El libro Arqueolog?a e Historia en la Colonia Espa?ola de Floridablanca expone ilusiones y utop?as subyacentes al proyecto de poblamiento espa?ol de la Costa Patag?nica de fines del siglo XVIII. En sus p?ginas se presentan nuevas miradas a la colonia de ef?mera existencia (1780-1784) y se invita a re-descubrir sus restos materiales localizados en las cercan?as de Puerto San Juli?n (Provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina). Fue escrito con el prop?sito de dar a conocer los primeros pasos en el estudio del sitio arqueol?gico y ofrecer una perspectiva particular en el an?lisis de documentos hist?ricos in?ditos. La autora discute los mecanismos mediante los cuales una realidad social espec?fica fue c...
