After all, as far as the Romans and Greeks were concerned, we-the English-speaking readers that form Jensen's audience-are as much, if not more, barbarian than Greco-Roman!' -Brian Turner, Portland State University Learn More Ultimately, Jensen illustrates the benefit of moving beyond the Greeks and the Romans and the importance of doing so. Rather than speak from the heart of the Roman forum or the Athenian agora, Jensen approaches ancient history from the position of an outsider, as a scholar unwilling to settle on simple narratives of progress from single centers, but rather forcefully admitting difference. In fact, by directly challenging it, he opens our eyes to an entirely different ancient world. While he follows traditional chronological and temporal boundaries, he does not adhere to the old scholarly lens. Easy to read and unafraid to explain scholarly arguments, Jensen takes his readers on a tour of the so-called Greek and Roman world. 'This book is excellent, and even necessary, reading for any survey of the ancient world. The world that the author paints is 'a tumult of different ideas, interpretations, and conflicts that had no final resolution.' What better reason could a historian offer for studying antiquity? Both readable and scholarly, Barbarians in the Greek and Roman World has a refreshingly modern ring and delivers an important modern message.' -Robert Garland, Colgate University Jensen's work is not only a testimony to the truly multicultural dimension of the ancient Mediterranean, but also a reminder of how contemporary prejudices help shape our view of past societies. 'A fascinating study of interrelatedness among peoples that does much to undermine the conventional notion of there being an essentialist divide between Greco-Roman and barbarian culture and peoples.
