Ancient Assyrians

Identity and Society in Antiquity and Beyond

Beschreibung

In this book, Jonathan Valk asks what did it mean to be Assyrian in the 2nd millennium BCE? To answer this question, Valk develops a new theory of social categories that facilitates an understanding of how collective identities work. This study demonstrates how changing historical circumstances condition identity and society.
