The author discusses the limits of archaeological interpretations of ethnicity, presents the utility of material indications of racism in the archaeological record, considers the archaeological footprint of immigrant groups, and contextualizes these discussions with the economic development of the state of New York. The author argues that the construction of canals and railroads causes drastic changes in trade networks and available goods throughout the state, and impacted the lives of immigrant populations who both built and depended on these systems. This book recounts the exploitation of immigrant groups for hard labor to complete these arterial constructions, which in turn increases reliable accessibility to trade goods, but also provides archaeologists today an increased ability to understand the treatment of those immigrant groups by American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One – Ethnicity and Industry, a Practical Approach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two – The Archaeology of Ethnicity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three – Practical Interpretation of Ethnicity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four – Historical Context and Background for Sub-Regions of New York State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five – Archaeological Data\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six – Interpretation of Archaeological Data\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven – Conclusions and Significance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences Cited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout The Author","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042627158359,"sku":"9781793611758","price":69.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793611758.jpg?v=1750954916","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-archaeology-of-ethnicity-race-and-consumption-in-new-york-9781793611758","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
