Negotiating Cross-Cultural Engagements in Oceania
Redaktion: Clarke, Anne; Torrence, Robin

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Archaeology of Difference presents a new and radically different perspective on the archaeology of cross-cultural contact and engagement. The authors move away from acculturation or domination and resistance and concentrate on interaction and negotiation by using a wide variety of case studies which take a crucially indigenous rather than colonial standpoint.
