Twelve historical archeologists examine the recent archeological record in the area stretching from Jamaica to northern Michigan. Focusing on the period from colonial times to the late 19th century, they use textual and archeological sources to explore the connection between race and economics, institutionalized poverty, and the allocation and definition of space. Other topics include fur trading, African American medicine, soul food, and missionary work. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review:

"I have found the papers in this book that effectively deal with how archaeologists think about race and with how we study it to be of great value. I will be using them in graduate seminars and recommending them to students and colleagues.""--Journal of Anthropological Research"
