Offers a broad and unique look at Ancient Egypt during its long age
of imperialism Written for enthusiasts and scholars of pharaonic
Egypt, as well as for those interested in comparative imperialism,
this book provides a look at some of the most intriguing evidence
for grand strategy, low-level insurgencies, back-room deals, and
complex colonial dynamics that exists for the Bronze Age world. It
explores the actions of a variety of Egypt's imperial governments
from the dawn of the state until 1069 BCE as they endeavored to
control fiercely independent mountain dwellers in Lebanon, urban
populations in Canaan and Nubia, highly mobile Nilotic
pastoralists, and predatory desert raiders. The book is especially
valuable as it foregrounds the reactions of local populations and
their active roles in shaping the trajectory of empire. With its
emphasis on the experimental nature of imperialism and its
attention to cross-cultural comparison and social history, this
book offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating subject. Organized
around central imperial themes-which are explored in depth at
particular places and times in Egypt's history-Ancient Egyptian
Imperialism covers: Trade Before Empire-Empire Before the State (c.
3500-2686); Settler Colonialism (c. 2400-2160); Military Occupation
(c. 2055-1775); Creolization, Collaboration, Colonization (c.
1775-1295); Motivation, Intimidation, Enticement (c. 1550-1295);
Organization and Infrastructure (c. 1458-1295); Outwitting the
State (c. 1362-1332); Conversions and Contractions in Egypt's
Northern Empire (c. 1295-1136); and Conversions and Contractions in
Egypt's Southern Empire (c. 1550-1069). Offers a wider focus of
Egypt's experimentation with empire than is covered by general
Egyptologists Draws analogies to tactics employed by imperial
governments and by dominated peoples in a variety of historically
documented empires, both old world and new Answers questions such
as "how often and to what degree did imperial blueprints undergo
revisions?" Ancient Egyptian Imperialism is an excellent text for
students and scholars of history, comparative history, and ancient
history, as well for those interested in political science,
anthropology, and the Biblical World.
