Reinterpreting the dynamic interplay between archive and field, these essays propose a method for mutually productive crossings between historical and ethnographic research. It engages critically with the colonial pasts of indigenous societies and examines how fieldwork and archival studies together lead to fruitful insights into the making of different colonial historicities. Timor-Leste’s unusually long and in some ways unique colonial history is explored as a compelling case for these crossings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Penned by anthropologists and historians alike, this collection of essays showcases the mutual enrichment of field and archival research for the understanding of colonial dynamics…The volume opens up some interesting ways to push the dialogue further and as such it is warmly recommended.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Social Anthropology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eCrossing Histories and Ethnographies \u003cem\u003eis a fascinating read for those looking for inspiration on how to apply an interdisciplinary approach in their historical or anthropological research.
