    "description": "<p>\"This is a groundbreaking, masterly, and original book that shows how ancient Phoenicians may have been the victims of the distorting categories of modern nationalism. Josephine Quinn offers a new vision of the ancient Mediterranean, where overarching identities mattered less and affinities found other meaningful expressions, such as networks of cult. The chronological and spatial horizons are huge, the erudition impressive, and the implication, that we should reexamine 'ethnicity' and even 'civilization' as viable categories, inescapable.\"<b>--Irad Malkin, Tel Aviv University</b></p><p>\"Stimulating and original. Quinn extensively explores what we mean by Phoenician and how this term has not only had its own uses at various times in the past but also how these uses have influenced one another to create a palimpsest of meanings. <i>In Search of the Phoenicians</i> is an intellectual and interdisciplinary tour de force.\"<b>--Peter van Dommelen, coeditor of <i>The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean</i></b></p><p>\"An important and original contribution to the reception history and invention of the Phoenicians.\"<b>--Ann E. Killebrew, author of <i>Biblical Peoples and Ethnicity</i></b></p>",
