How should articulations of blackness from the fifth century BCE to
the twenty-first century be properly read and interpreted? This
important and timely new book is the first concerted treatment of
black skin color in the Greek literature and visual culture of
antiquity. In charting representations in the Hellenic world of
black Egyptians, Aithiopians, Indians, and Greeks, Sarah Derbew
dexterously disentangles the complex and varied ways in which
blackness has been co-produced by ancient authors and artists;
their readers, audiences, and viewers; and contemporary scholars.
Exploring the precarious hold that race has on skin coloration, the
author uncovers the many silences, suppressions, and
misappropriations of blackness within modern studies of Greek
antiquity. Shaped by performance studies and critical race theory
alike, her book maps out an authoritative archaeology of blackness
that reappraises its significance. It offers a committedly
anti-racist approach to depictions of black people while rejecting
simplistic conflations or explanations.
