Black Athena Vol. II : Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization Book

Description: Black Athena Vol. II : Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization, the Archaeological and Documentary Evidence by Martin Bernal. Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, 1996 (fourth impression). Illustrated 736 trade paperback with spotting on side outer page edge (see photo) - otherwise flawless condition with interior markings or other glaring flaws. This volume is the second in a projected four-part series concerned with the competition between two historical models for the origins of Greek civilization. The model current today is the Aryan Model, according to which Greek culture arose as the result of the conquest from the north by Indo-European speakers or "Aryans" of the native "pre-Hellenes." The Ancient Model, which was the model maintained in Classical Greece, held that the native population of Greece had initially been civilized by Egyptian and Phoenician colonists and that more Near Eastern culture had been introduced to Greece by Greeks studying in Egypt and Southwest Asia. In these and later volumes, Martin Bernal proposes a Revised Ancient Model. According to this, the Indo-European aspects of Greek language and culture should be recognized as fundamental and the considerable non-Indo-European elements should be seen largely as Egyptian and Levantine additions to this basis. $4.99 domestic U.S. shipping.
