New Brunswick, Rutgers Univ. Press, (1999). Reprint. Wrappers, maps, pp. xxxii, 575. Near fine. ISBN 0-8135-1277-8. "What is classical about Classical civilization? In one of the most audacious works of scholarship ever written, Martin Bernal challenges the whole basis of our thinking about this question. Classical civilization, he argues, has deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures. But these Afroasiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied or suppressed since the eighteenth century-chiefly for racist reasons" (cover blurb).
