Introducing a much broader historical and geographical comparative understanding of domination and resistance than is available elsewhere, the editors and contributors offer a wealth of perspectives and case studies. They illustrate the application of these ideas to issues as diverse as ritualized space, the nature of hierarchy in non-capitalist contexts and the production of archaeological discourse.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on considerable experience in promoting interaction between archaeology and other disciplines concerned with ideology, power and social transformation, the editors have brought together a stimulating book that will be of widespread interest amongst students of archaeology, ancient history, sociology, anthropology and human geography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'[\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDomination and Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e] is concerned with the nature of power, using a wealth of perspectives and case studies from archaeology and its related disciplines to delineate and assess the mechanisms of dominance and of its counterpart, resistance'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eBritish Archaeology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'The unity in this book comes from its many voices and tones ...
