Derbew, Sarah F. Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021.
Explores the representation of black skin in ancient Greek materials between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. The book argues for a differentiation between the cultural attitudes of Greek antiquity and contemporary cultural overlays onto antique materials to execute an anti-racist historiography binding classical contexts to contemporary receptions. The work engages conversations in performance studies, material culture, and Blackness.
