Isaac, Benjamin
THE INVENTION OF RACISM IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
Princeton University Press. Very Good. 2006. Paperback. 0691125988 . Very Minor shelfwear. ; There was racism in the ancient world after all. This groundbreaking book refutes the common belief that the ancient Greeks and Romans harbored "ethnic and cultural" but not racial prejudice. It does so by comprehensively tracing the intellectual origins of racism back to classical antiquity. Benjamin Isaac's systematic analysis of ancient social prejudices and stereotypes reveals that some of those represent prototypes of racism--or proto-racism--which in turn inspired the early modern authors who developed the more familiar racist ideas. He considers the literature from classical Greece to late antiquity in a quest for the various forms of the discriminatory stereotypes and social hatred that have played such an important role in recent history and continue to do so in modern society. Magisterial in scope and scholarship and engagingly written The Invention of Racism in Classical Antiquity further suggests that an understanding of ancient attitudes toward other peoples sheds light not only on Greco-Roman imperialism and the ideology of enslavement and the concomitant integration or non-integration of foreigners in those societies but also on the disintegration of the Roman Empire and on more recent imperialism as well. The first part considers general themes in the history of discrimination; the second provides a detailed analysis of proto-racism and prejudices toward particular groups of foreigners in the Greco-Roman world. The last chapter concerns Jews in the ancient world thus placing anti-Semitism in a broader context. ; 592 pages . Princeton University Press paperback

Gift inscription from author to Scholar Michael Jameson & spouse on titlepage. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 194 pages; This volume complements D. J.

In this volume Conacher provides a detailed running commentary on the three earlier plays The Persians The Seven against Thebes and The Suppliants as well as an analysis of their themes structure and dramatic techniques and devices. In two more general studies he reviews Aeschylus' dramatic uses of the chorus and of imagery. Conacher's close readings of the text and sensitive analysis of the main problems in the plays will be of benefit to students especially those encountering these plays for the first time either in Greek or in translation. He also provides a thorough overview of the various interpretative and philological problems and opinions encountered in Aeschylean scholarship which will be of interest to senior scholars as well as students. ; Signed by Author .

Snowden Jr., Frank M.
BEFORE COLOR PREJUDICE The Ancient View of Blacks
Harvard University Press. Good. 1997. Softcover. 0674063813 . Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; In this richly illustrated account of black-white contacts from the Pharaohs to the Caesars Frank Snowden demonstrates that the ancients did not discriminate against blacks because of their color. For three thousand years Mediterranean whites intermittently came in contact with African blacks in commerce and war and left a record of these encounters in art and in written documents. The blacks--most commonly known as Kushites Ethiopians or Nubians--were redoubtable warriors and commanded the respect of their white adversaries. The overall view of blacks was highly favorable. In science philosophy and religion color was not the basis of theories concerning inferior peoples. And early Christianity saw in the black man a dramatic symbol of its catholic mission. This book sheds light on the reasons for the absence in antiquity of virulent color prejudice and for the difference in attitudes of whites toward blacks in ancient and modern societies. ; 176 pages .

The thirteen chapters are divided into two main sections the first of which focuses on the diverse forms of writing adopted by various ancient authors and the different ways these forms were used to present and project an authorial voice. The second part of the volume considers questions regarding authority and ascription in relation to the authorial voice. In particular it looks at how later readers - and later authors - may understand the authority of a text's author or supposed author. The volume contains chapters on pseudo-epigraphy and fictional letters as well as the use of texts as authoritative in philosophical schools and the ancient ascription of authorship to works of art. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 440 pages .

DJ is laminated. ; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 256 pages; Working from the combined perspective of feminist literary theory and performance theory Lauren Taaffe takes an unprecedented look at the representation of women in the plays of Aristophanes. Her analysis of the relationship between ancient and contemporary theatrical representation and gender identity brings a new critical perspective to Aristophanic studies. Taaffe discusses the portrayal of women in all of Aristophanes' extant plays but focuses on Lysistrata Thesmophoriazusae and Ecclesiazusae. Her main contention is that Aristophanes' representation of women draws upon the ancient Greek construction of femininity as being inherently artificial and deceptive--a construction of femininity that is directly related to the convention of male actors playing female roles. .

The Testimonia ancient notes about the life of Euripides and his career as a tragic poet are printed together with a facing English translation. The Loeb introduction examines this material critically. Equipped with this body of evidence students of Greek tragedy and of ancient biography will be able to assess for themselves the reliability of the biographical tradition in which the author argues too much confidence has been placed by interpreters of plays. The Textual Discussions explain places in the plays of volume one "Cyclops" "Alcestis" and "Medea" where the text adopted by the editor calls for comment. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 181 pages .

He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

Underlining in pencil to a couple of pages. ; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The books thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'whos who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come. .

Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 488 pages; This volume offers a range of innovative approaches to Solon of Athens legendary law-giver statesman and poet of the early sixth century B.C. In the first part Solon's poetry is reconsidered against the background of oral poetics and other early Greek poetry. The connection between Solon's alleged roles as poet and as politician is fundamentally questioned. Part two offers a reassessment of Solon's laws based on a revision of the textual tradition and recent views on early Greek lawgiving. In part three fresh scrutiny of the archeological and written evidence of archaic Greece results in new perspectives on the agricultural crisis and Solon's role in the social and political developments of sixth-century Athens. .
