Through a range of specific case studies, this book offers a global comparative perspective on colonial processes and colonial situations, and the ways in which they were experienced by the different peoples. The volume stresses the importance of peripheral ℓ́ℓunsuccessfulℓ́ℓ colonial episodes. Thus, some of the papers deal with very brief colonial events, even ℓ́ℓmarginalℓ́ℓ in some cases, considered ℓ́ℓfailuresℓ́ℓ by the Spanish crown or even undertook without their consent. These short events are usually overlooked by traditional historiography, which is why archaeological research is particularly important in these cases, since archaeological remains may be the main type of evidence that stands as proof of these colonial events. At the same time, the book critically examines the construction of categories and discourses of colonialism, and questions the ideological underpinnings of the source material required to address such a vast issue. Accordingly, the book strikes a balance between theoretical, methodological and empirical issues, integrated to a lesser or greater extent in most of the chapters Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Archaeology -- Spain -- History Archaeology -- Africa -- History Archaeology -- Islands of the Pacific -- History Archaeology.
