Highlights from her collection appeared in three large-format volumes that quickly became collector's items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du Bois Institute are proud to publish a complete set of ten sumptuous books, including new editions of the original volumes and two additional ones.The new edition of From the Pharaohs to the Fall of the Roman Empire offers a comprehensive look at the fascinating and controversial subject of the representation of black people in the ancient world. Classic essays by distinguished scholars are aptly contextualized by Jeremy Tanner's new introduction, which guides the reader through enormous changes in the field in the wake of the "Black Athena" story.*This eBook is available exclusively on the A&AePortal*AuthorDavid Bindman (Editor), Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Editor)PublisherHarvard University PressPrint publication date November 2010 (in print)Print ISBN 9780674052710EISBN 9780300244465Copyright© 1976 by Menil Foundation, Inc.Illustrations 396Print Status in print Publisher (in print) WorldCat Google Books
