dc.description | The destruction of Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, the looting of the National Museum in Baghdad, the toppling of images of Saddam Hussein... archaeology, our science of material culture, is daily challenged by such dynamic interplay of artifacts with politics. As recent news stories demonstrate, nowhere does this relationship come into sharper focus than under the most extreme political systems, such as dictatorships. This book is not, however, about recent events in Iraq, and none of the contributions dwell solely on the Middle East. The authors are united, rather, by their interest in the totalitarian political regimes which developed around the Mediterranean and mainly in the first half of the 20th century. Within this welldocumented, carefully studied, theater, they explore both the treatment of the material remains of the past by dictators, and the roles archaeologists played, and continue to play, in interpreting that material. | - |
