- This book argues that the so-called 'Phoenicians' thought of themselves not in self-conscious ethnic terms but through communities based on place, religion, and the migrant experience. The concept 'Phoenician' by contrast derives from others' ethnic, imperial and national projects. The book covers over three millennia, from the Bronze Age to the Arab Spring, and combines archaeology, epigraphy, literature, linguistics, and modern European and Middle Eastern history. It involved primary research in and translation from more than a dozen ancient languages.
