In this book, Gabriel Zuchtriegel explores and reconstructs the
unwritten history of Classical Greece - the experience of nonelite
colonial populations. Using postcolonial critical methods to
analyze Greek settlements and their hinterlands of the fifth and
fourth centuries BC, he reconstructs the social and economic
structures in which exploitation, violence, and subjugation were
implicit. He mines literary sources and inscriptions, as well as
archaeological and data from excavations and field surveys, much of
it published here for the first time, that offer new insights into
the lives and status of nonelite populations in Greek colonies.
Zuchtriegel demonstrates that Greece's colonial experience has
far-reaching implications beyond the study of archaeology and
ancient history. As reflected in foundational texts such as Plato's
'Laws' and Aristotle's 'Politics', the ideology that sustained
Greek colonialism is still felt in many Western societies.
