Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity, 2022

Today, research in Classics continues to explore questions of race in the Mediterranean world, exemplified by this study of the representation of Blackness in ancient Greek texts and images by the Stanford professor Sarah Derbew. In drawing on the work of theorists from Africa and the Global South, Derbew’s book adapts the egalitarian and universalist aspirations in Lovinggood’s classicism for a modern, global, and multicultural field.
