Critical Historical Archaeology

Mark P. Leone 

July 2010, 250 pages, $29.95 Paper 

 

How can we use the past to make sense of the issues and problems that
concern us in the present? In this collection of his most important
writing,
Mark Leone, a leading theorist of postprocessual or postmodern
archaeology,
offers a model for Critical Historical Archaeology that sets the field
on
the new trajectory. A forceful advocate for historical archaeology as
an
activist pursuit, he argues that the way to live in the postmodern
period is
not simply to chronicle it, but to use the process of interpreting of
heritage to develop new understandings the cultural and political
issues of
our time.
