Those for Whom the Lamp Shines - The Making of Egyptian Ethnic Identity in Late Antiquity

"Those for Whom the Lamp Shines is an outstanding and important contribution. It is the first sustained account of ethnic rhetoric as it rises in prevalence in late antique Egypt. With admirable sensitivity to the complexities of group conflict, Bantu lucidly charts the significant changes in ethnic reasoning about 'Egyptianness' in late antiquity."—Mary K. Farag, author of What Makes a Church Sacred? Legal and Ritual Perspectives from Late Antiquity
