Recenzii
In this clearly written and methodologically sound study, Demetriou gives voice to one of the most important communities in the ancient Mediterranean, the Phoenicians. Zooming in on their own inscriptions, this is a crucial contribution to the study of migrant communities during the Classical-Hellenistic periods and of the Phoenician's diasporic identities. Phoenicians among Others is simply eye-opening and will illuminate the interpretation of similar multi-cultural contexts in the ancient world.
Telling stories about migration can challenge the lies and fear it provokes, and it is a sad fact that we know more about ancient Phoenician-speaking migrants than we do about many of those found-and lost-in the Mediterranean today. Denise Demetriou's radical work explores how mobility changed these people, their new hosts, and their old homes. It reveals the breadth of ancient history beyond Greece and Rome, but it also suggests that notions of citizenship today can be established in negotiation with immigrants rather than simply in reaction against them.
This innovative monograph will appeal to everyone interested in Greek history...Highly recommended.
Phoenicians among Others is an illuminating book not only for Phoenicians living throughout the Mediterranean, but also those in Phoenicia,... It is a valuable contribution of ancient social history.
Valuable and stimulating... Original and well developed in its objectives and in the themes addressed.
A splendid book on Phoenician immigrant communities across the ancient Mediterranean during the first millennium BCE... This thought-provoking book should also make us ponder whether the Phoenician model can be applied to other migrant communities, or is in fact one model among many.
Demetriou's study nevertheless comprises a detailed, thoroughly researched and persuasive examination of the overall under-represented agency of Phoenician immigrants in theancient Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Demetriou's book is a welcome contribution to the study of the first millennium BCE Mediterranean. Its innovative approach is likely to stimulate further discussion, encourage more in-depth investigation, and invite additional scrutiny. In the future, integrating material culture into the analysis and adopting a long-term perspective that traces and characterizes Phoenician mobility and migration from its earliest phases would be particularly worthwhile.
The work is well grounded in historical evidence, employs sound historical methods, and includes exhaustive footnotes, but also remains cogently written and accessible to non-specialist readers. D. approaches the topic with a refreshing and innovative perspective, centring upon a group that wider classical scholarship has largely ignored and demonstrating their importance to the communities they inhabited and shaped.
