"Social Construction of the Past" examines how mainstream scholarship constructs the past. Archaeologists and anthropologists are involved in constructing the past of other people, in creating another people's cultural history. This process of appropriation can turn into a form of domination of one group over another. Scholarship also often fails to recognize the intellectual and scholarly contribution of subjugated peoples. This collection of essays looks at the way "postcolonial" scholars are redefining the nature of scholarship, and themselves, in order to develop a more egalitarian discourse. The essays examine labor, race and gender and their relationship to power and class. They cover a broad range of topics, from the role of intellectuals in restructuring a non-apartheid South Africa, to the way Haitian working-class women use sexuality to resist domination.
