Description:
The teaching and research of the classics in South Africa are deeply rooted in the racial, political and educational inequalities which have characterised the country's turbulent history. Michael Lambert opens three windows on to this history, using the creation of identities as his theoretical lens.
Brief description: Linda and Mike Lambert have been collecting ceramics for the past 15 years and jewellery for the past 10. This book was conceived out of a real need they perceived while developing their own collections.
Review Quotes: "Lambert makes a valuable contribution to South African cultural history and his study is sure to provoke vigorous discussion by students of classical reception and its impact on the politics of identity." - Mouseion
