The Politics of Identity in Greek Sicily and Southern Italy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This analysis of the relationship between collective identities and politics in ancient Greece focuses on four key types of identity - polis identity, ethnicity (e.g., Dorian or Achaean), regional, and Greek - and places these multiple and flexible self-perceptions at the center of a new account of politics in the Greek West.
