Race - Antiquity and Its Legacy

Informationen zum Autor Denise McCoskey is Associate Professor of Classics at Miami University! Ohio. She has written extensively on the politics of race and gender in antiquity. This provocative book boldly explores the complex matrices of race - and the differing interpretations of ancient and modern - across epic, tragedy and the novel. Ranging from Theocritus to Toni Morrison, and from Tacitus and Pliny to Bernal's seminal study Black Athena, this is a powerful and original new assessment.
