The University of Alabama Press The Fabric of Resistance
Book SynopsisDocuments the impact of Spanish colonial institutions of labour on identity and social cohesion in Peru. Through archaeological and historical lines of evidence, Di Hu examines the long-term social conditions that enabled the large-scale rebellions in the late Spanish colonial period in Peru.Trade Review“The Fabric of Resistance breaks new ground in our understanding of the revolutions that occurred throughout the Andes in the late 18th century. With a deft and skillful interweaving of archaeology and historical anthropology, Hu demonstrates how the so-called “weapons of the weak”—the everyday acts of resistance to oppression—are not pale, ineffectual shadows of the violent rebellions that command the attention of historians. The author opens a window into the world of ordinary people in one village in the colonial Andes, revealing their travails, their resistance to colonial exploitation, and the stories that they would tell. Lively and engaging, this insightful study will be talked about for many years to come.”—Sabine Hyland, author of Gods of the Andes: An Early Jesuit Account of Inca Religion and Andean Christianity

It is an important contribution, since such regional overviews in the field of archaeobotany are widely lacking.

Ohio University Press San Rock Art
Book SynopsisSan rock paintings, scattered over the range of southern Africa, are considered by many to be the very earliest examples of representational art. There are as many as 15,000 known rock art sites, created over the course of thousands of years up until the nineteenth century. There are possibly just as many still awaiting discovery.TakingTrade Review“This little book is exceptional in that the subject is so clearly explained. It was wonderful to learn that [South African former] President Thabo Mbeki incorporated a San rock painting into our new national coat of arms.… I recommend you dip into this pocket book. You won’t be disappointed.” * Citizen, “Citi Vibe,” South Africa *“(San Rock Art) serves as an excellent introduction to the possibilities of studying the subject and would be useful in many sorts of classes. Professionals will also find the volume useful for both general concepts and clear and concise summaries of many of the key points of Lewis-Williams’ interpretive efforts. In summary, this book is a good read. I recommend it for all levels of those interested in the subject of rock art.” * Azania: Archeological Research in Africa *“Perhaps only the eloquent and succinct prose of J.D. Lewis-Williams could present, examine and explain the ethnology and artistry of the San culture in such a quintessential manner…. From explanations of the 'terpsichorean exercises' and the all-important 'trance-dance' to how the San person, shaman or not, can use a painting to go through the 'veil' to the spirit world beyond, the author reveals a world of ethnographic and artistic potency.” * Bradshaw Foundation Book Review *“Making sense of these fascinating artifacts as a novice requires the assistance of an informed guide and Lewis-Williams’ credentials speak for themselves.… This deceptively ordinary-looking book is a fascinating read and will spur you on your travels to view as many San paintings as you can at close-hand, fuelled by your newfound knowledge of the complexity of the beliefs, rituals, and practices of the first inhabitants of South Africa.” * Sunday Magazine, South Africa *

Ohio University Press Connecting Continents Archaeology and History in
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The contributors do a superb job of situating the Indian Ocean within the most current discourses of historical archaeology, including, importantly, ways of broadening the field. The subject of the book is truly original and it makes a significant contribution to knowledge by its very presence.”“Connecting Continents reviews and engages a tremendous range and depth of research, tacking largely between the history and archaeology (including bioarchaeology) of the Indian Ocean over the last two thousand years. The contributors display true intellectual generosity, and there is absolutely nothing else like it currently available.”

MD - Duke University Press In Oceania
Book SynopsisA collection of essays that explores the historicisation of cultural encounters in the region referred to as Oceania. It describes how outsiders and islanders alike have constructed indigenous cultures over the last two hundred years.Trade Review"Nicholas Thomas can always be depended upon for lucid arguments that range over an impressive array of materials and engage current debates within and across the fields of anthropology, history, and cultural studies."—Robert J. Foster, University of Rochester"Thomas makes a statement of major importance on the deep political and intellectual complexities involved in visually and verbally constructing histories and cultures. . . . Sophisticated, original, and compelling."—Don Brenneis, University of California at Santa Cruz“These essays exemplify the very diversity of approaches to historical and contemporary Oceania that Thomas advocates. They are full of the level-headed insights that one has come to expect of Thomas, insights that are grounded in historical scholarship and that hone the cutting edge of current anthropology.” -- Margaret Rodman * American Ethnologist *
