This is an incredibly underrated yet essential text in the study of the Iron Age colonization of the Mediterranean. It was beyond valuable to my thesis research on the topic, and I think that both its clear ties to postcolonial theory as well as its consideration of modern perceptions of the subject make it a brilliant and much-needed contribution to the field.

A good reference book. The author isn't wedded to one theoretical model (except maybe Mediterre
anization (sp?)). I feel that the most valuable aspect of the book is the survey of Greek colonies/trade posts.
