Symbolic Blackness and Ethnic Difference in Early Christian Literature

Editorial Reviews
Review
Composed of an introduction and two thematic parts, this monograph provides a fresh and distintive appoach to discursive 'othering' in the writing of early Christianity.

Book Description

There has been growing interest in recent years in the presence and image of blacks and blackness in classical antiquity. This pioneering and much-needed work is the first to survey and theorize blacks as seen by early Christian writers. Byron creates a solid and original foundation of theoretical arguments as the basis for her discussion of the presence of blacks in Christian antiquity. Her presentation of the critical analysis and sources side by side encourages the reader to engage with the material in a more sophisticated way.
