Archaeology of Atlantic Africa and the African Diaspora de Akinwumi Ogundiran

Archaeology of Atlantic Africa and the African Diaspora

Autor Akinwumi Ogundiran, Toyin Falola
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2010
This is the first book devoted to the archaeology of African life on both sides of the Atlantic and highlights the importance of archaeology in completing the historical records of the Atlantic world’s Africans. Archaeology of Atlantic Africa and the African Diaspora presents a diverse, richly textured picture of Africans’ experiences during the era of the Atlantic slave trade and offers the most comprehensive explanation of how African lives became entangled with the creation of the modern world. Through interdisciplinary approaches to material culture, the dynamics of a comparative transatlantic archaeology is developed.

Recenzii

"Should be required reading for Africanist archaeologists and students of African American and diasporic archaeology. . . . Highly recommended." Choice

"[The editors] skilfully articulate the importance of integrating the African Atlantic and the African Diaspora within a single analytical framework . . . Common to most of these papers is a breadth of vision that encompasses the archaeological record and relevant history, ethnographic and palaeoclimatic data in ways that highlight the complexity of the processes taking place in Atlantic African from (indeed, before) the fifteenth century." Journal of African History

"A rich perspective on the archaeology of African life in the Atlantic world. . . . The volume will be widely appreciated by readers wishing to learn about an exciting area of archaeological research." International Journal of African Historical Studies

". . . this book is remarkably successful. It is equally useful for specialists in later African archaeology and for archaeologists of the African Diaspora. Furthermore, . . . [it] provides an excellent introduction to the state of research on the subject, and is appropriate for anyone wishing to develop an understanding of the big issues in the archaeology of the African Diaspora." Kenneth G. Kelly, University of South Carolina, Azania , Vol. 44.2 August 2009
