Historical Archaeology of the Modern World

'Fascinating to read...well-written and well-edited. It has now become the historical archaeological companion to Eric Wolf's Europe and the People Without History.' The Midden 'This book will be of value to serious students of history, archaeology, anthropology, and other social sciences who are interested in the development of the modern world. By adopting its framework, archaeologists will also be challenging the artificial barriers between the so-called academic and compliance-oriented investigations by acting in unison.' Current Anthropology, August-October 1998
