| Summary: | In situations of displacement, disruption, and difference, humans adapt by actively creating, re-creating, and adjusting their identities using the material world. This text employs the discipline of historical archaeology to study this process as it occurs in new and challenging environments.

The authors consider multiple aspects of identity, such as race, class, gender, and ethnicity, and look for ways to understand its fluid and intersecting nature |
