      abstract = {Bioarchaeology has relied on Darwinian perspectives and  biocultural models to communicate information about the  lives of past peoples. This book demonstrates how further  theoretical expansion's thoughtful engagement with critical  social theorizing's an contribute insightful and more  ethical outcomes. To do so, it focuses on social  theoretical concepts of pertinence to bioarchaeological  studies: habitus, the normal, intersectionality,  necropolitics, and bioethos. These concepts can deepen  study of plasticity, disease, gender, violence, and race  and ethnicity, as well as advance the field's  decolonization efforts. This book also works to overcome  the challenges presented by dense social theorizing, which  has paid little attention to real bodies. It historicizes,  explains, and adapts concepts, as well as discusses  archaeological, historic, and contemporary case studies  from around the world. Theorizing Bioarchaeology is  intended for individuals who may have initially dismissed  social theorizing as postmodern but now acknowledge this  characterization as oversimplified. It is for readers who  foster curiosity about bioarchaeology's contradictions and  common sense. The ideas contained in these pages may also  be of use to students who know that it is naive at best and  myopic at worst to presume data derived from bodies speak  for themselves.},
