| Synopsis: |
In all times people have abandoned places. Archaeology is commonly ascribed the role of analysing the traces left behind, but this volume shifts the focus more strongly to the leaving. Presenting a selection of innovative and challenging new work from leading scholars around this world, the editors have chosen to place a particular emphasis on colonial and post-colonial experiences of forced removal or abandonment. Through the studies, themes such as the politics of memory and forgetting, and the complex web linking place, ideology, Diaspora and identity emerge from such diverse settings as medieval Ireland, 19th-century Scotland, South Africa, Australia, Canada, USA and Palestine. |
