Summary:"This book theorizes early medieval studies in order to better understand early medieval social life and its relation to modern nationalism and ethnicity." "Drawing upon socio-cultural anthropology, social theory and sociology, the contributors address issues and debates within history, archaeology and physical anthropology. The book also participates in wider discussions about social identity, critiquing and revising problematic depictions of 'pre-industrial' social life against which modern scholars so often contrast contemporary Western culture. Such arguments have implications for all historical and archaeological studies. Social Identity in Early Medieval Britain will be welcomed as a valuable addition to medieval studies."--Jacket.
