This volume examines the power relationships between the rulers of
the Late Bronze and Iron Age and their subjects in the Levant
through the lens of "cultural hegemony". It explores the impact of
these foreign powers on all social classes and reconstructs the
public presence of cultural control. The book serves to determine
the impact of foreign control on the daily lives of those living in
the ancient Levant, and offers a means by which to attempt to
discuss non-elites in the ancient Near East. It examines
expressions of foreign ideology within public performance such as
religious expressions and in public places, observable by all
social classes, which assert control or dominance over local
identity markers. In utilizing textual, epigraphic, and
archaeological records, it paints a more complete picture of
Levantine society during this time while also drawing upon evidence
from neighbouring Anatolia, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. This is a
fascinating resource for students and scholars of the ancient Near
East, particularly the Levant but also Anatolia, Egypt, and
Mesopotamia in the Late Bronze and Iron Age periods. It is also
useful for scholars working on power and imperialism across
history.
