In a world becoming ever more interconnected, they engage in 'long-distance politics' towards, send financial remittances to and support social development in their homelands. Transnational diaspora networks have thus become global forces shaping the relationship between countries, regions and continents. This important intervention, written by scholars working at the cutting edge of diaspora and conflict, challenges the conventional wisdom that diaspoAfrica now (Zed Books)PiracyHorn of AfricaTerrorismHorn of AfricaHorn of AfricaForeign relationsHorn of AfricaPolitics and government21st centuryElectronic books.PiracyTerrorism364.164Laakso LiisaHautaniemi PetriAbdile MahdiNordiska Afrikainstitutet.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458742603321Diasporas, development and peacemaking in the Horn of Africa2087195UNINA06058nam 22012854a 450 991078024670332120230426224017.01-282-35670-497866123567040-520-92818-01-59734-743-410.1525/9780520928183(CKB)111087027178640(EBL)223753(OCoLC)475928865(SSID)ssj0000201480(PQKBManifestationID)11182297(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000201480(PQKBWorkID)10245301(PQKB)10986268(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055886(MiAaPQ)EBC223753(OCoLC)52998497(MdBmJHUP)muse30613(DE-B1597)519551(DE-B1597)9780520928183(Au-PeEL)EBL223753(CaPaEBR)ebr10048949(CaONFJC)MIL235670(dli)HEB07972(MiU)MIU01000000000000009613202(EXLCZ)9911108702717864020020621d2003 uy 0engurnn#---|u||utxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMerovingian mortuary archaeology and the making of the early Middle Ages /Bonnie EffrosBerkeley :University of California Press,2003.1 online resource (xviii, 272 pages) illustrations, mapThe transformation of the classical heritage ;35Description based upon print version of record.0-520-23244-5 Includes bibliographical references (p. 223-262) and index.Front matter --Contents --Map and Illustrations --Acknowledgments --Abbreviations --Introduction --1.

The visual landscape: Cemeterial topography and community hierarchy --Epilogue --Select Bibliography --IndexClothing, jewelry, animal remains, ceramics, coins, and weaponry are among the artifacts that have been discovered in graves in Gaul dating from the fifth to eighth century. Those who have unearthed them, from the middle ages to the present, have speculated widely on their meaning. This authoritative book makes a major contribution to the study of death and burial in late antique and early medieval society with its long overdue systematic discussion of this mortuary evidence. Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time, Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms. Working at the intersection of history and archaeology, and drawing from anthropology and art history, Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods. Her discussion traces the evolution of concepts of nationhood, race, and culture and shows how these concepts helped shape an understanding of the past. Effros then turns to contemporary multidisciplinary methodologies and finds that we are still limited by the types of information that can be readily gleaned from physical and written sources of Merovingian graves. For example, since material evidence found in the graves of elite families and particularly elite men is more plentiful and noteworthy, mortuary goods do not speak as directly to the conditions in which women and the poor lived. The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years.Transformation of the classical heritage ;35.MerovingiansFuneral customs and ritesFuneral rites and ceremoniesGaulGaulSocial life and customsGaulAntiquitiesFranceHistoryTo 987ancient world.anthropology.antiquity.archaeology.aregund.art history.burial.celtic world.ceremonies.childeric.class.customs.dark ages.death.dying.early middle ages.europe.excavations.france.frankish kingdoms.french history.funerals.funerary.gaul.grave artifacts.graves.history.medieval history.medieval society.medieval.merovingian archaeology.merovingian graves.merovingians.monarchy.mortuary.nation.nonfiction.race.religion.rites.royalty.rulers.saint brice.social science.sociology.tombs.MerovingiansFuneral customs and rites.Funeral rites and ceremonies393.9/09364Effros Bonnie1965-1011869MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780246703321Merovingian mortuary archaeology and the making of the early Middle Ages2346284UNINA
