Making Alternative Histories presents a profound challenge to traditional Western modes of scholarship and will be required reading for Western archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians.…

"Peter Schmidt's impacts on archaeology and African history are theoretical, substantive, and pragmatic. Since the 1970s, his initiatives in Africa have fostered research, institution building, and heritage advocacy. Trained as an archaeologist and historian, Schmidt's approach to archaeology is inclusive, methodologically sophisticated, grounded in structural and symbolic theory, and politically aware (Schmidt 1978, 1983a, b, 1997, 2010; Schmidt & Patterson 1995). His scholarship makes informed representations of Africa and Africans. He highlights the long-term pasts of eastern Africa by integrating material, ethnographic, oral historical, documentary, and environmental sources (Schmidt 1978, 1983a, 1997; for conspectus, see Schmidt 2006)."
