Description

An Archaeology of Resistance: Materiality and Time in an African Borderland studies the tactics of resistance deployed by numerous indigenous communities in the borderland between Sudan and Ethiopia. The Horn of Africa is an early area of state formation and on the same time the house of many egalitarian, small scale societies, which have lived in the buffer zone between states for the last three thousand years. Because of this, resistance isn’t something added to their sociopolitical structures: it’s an inherent a part of those structures—a mode of being. The primary objective of the work is to be aware the diverse forms of resistance that characterizes the borderland groups, with an emphasis on two essentially archaeological themes, materiality and time, by combining archaeological, political and social theory, ethnographic methods and historical data to examine different processes of resistance in the longer term.
