GHOST MAPS: Intelligent and intimate, this debut collection delves into Annalisa Bolin's experiences as a field archaeologist working in the sites left behind by mass acts of violence, such as the Rwandan genocide, colonialism in Africa, the slave trade in the Caribbean, and the American Civil War

AWARDED ACADEMIC: An established academic, archaeologist and anthropologist who's been widely published in academic journals, Bolin has won dozens of awards and fellowships for the work embodied in this collection, including honors from the American Anthropological Association, the Mellon Foundation, the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, and the Stanford University Anthropology Department 

EMINENTLY READABLE: Despite being a debut author, Bolin expertly balances historical accounts of the Rwandan genocide or the sugar plantations in St. Croix with the intimacy of her own experiences in the field, bringing readers face to face with the dead.

INTERVIEW AND PODCAST EMPHASIS: Annalisa's experiences at the heart of this book are fascinating, and she is a captivating storyteller. A book meant to be talked about and shared, this is an ideal pick for podcasters, TV journalists, book clubs, and interviewers.
