Reviews
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. * Carolina López-Ruiz, The University of Chicago Divinity School * 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. * Josephine Quinn, University of Oxford *
