Provides a cross-section of new research on the current state of American material culture scholarship, illustrating the complexity of the field and the ways it is changing; how ethnicity is displayed, creolized, or reinvigorated in border zones of cultural contact; how objects are both mirrors and lenses for gendered constructions; and how differing experiences with the environment alter objects even as objects alter the environment; and the continued creation of new meanings with things.
