Title The Archaeological Journal: The materiality of desire: building alternative histories for a Hebridean crofting community'
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2000

Abstract/Summary

This paper examines the way people continually rework and reinvent their communal histories by manipulating the materiality of constructed space. In an attempt to make sense of and legitimize the present and project a desired future, various solidarities literally build strategic, contradictory and conditional pasts, infusing the material fabric of everyday life with a political dynamic.
