Inscribing Devotion and Death

Description:

"Scholarship on early Jewish populations has long been limited by a continued reliance on essentialist and syncretistic models of cultural dynamics. Drawing upon methods from cultural studies and historical linguistics, this innovative monograph reexamines archaeological evidence for Jewish presence in North Africa from periods of Roman rule through the first Arab conquest."--BOOK JACKET.
