Essays by a distinguished group of archaeologists outline the emergence of a socially conscious archaeology by addressing the material mediation of contemporary social problems such as colonialism, industrialism, racialization, and globalization. \u003ci\u003eContemporary Archaeology in Theory: The New Pragmatism\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the gradual incorporation of questions of identity, meaning, agency, and practice alongside those of system, process, and structure. This new edition is an essential reader for students and a thought-provoking assessment of the field for all archaeologists, indigenous peoples, and the concerned lay public.  “Contemporary Archaeology in Theory: The New Pragmatism is a great collection of texts to teach from, but it is much more than that. Preucel and Mrozowski have put together a landmark volume that combines a diversity of exciting contributions with a common intellectual agenda and purpose. One comes away from reading The New Pragmatism with a sense of a serious, mature discipline that combines academic rigour with social engagement.”\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eMatthew Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Southampton  \u003cp\u003e“Far more than a second edition, this is a fully transformed, cutting- edge, thorough, truly monumental book that captures the richness of archaeological theory today for introductory and advanced readers alike.”\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eStephen Silliman\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Massachusetts, Boston\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The new pragmatism advanced by the editors places archaeology within its social context, importantly in ways that can serve contemporary needs in the modern world.
