Encounters with Ancient Egypt by Peter Ucko
The discipline of Egyptology has been criticised for being too insular, with little awareness of the development of archaeologies elsewhere. It has remained theoretically underdeveloped. For example, the role of Ancient Egypt within Africa has rarely been considered by Egyptologists and Africanists. Egypt's own view of itself has been neglected; views of it in the ancient past, in more recent times and today have remained underexposed. The Complete Set of Encounters with Ancient Egypt is a series of eight books which addresses these issues. The books interrelate, inform and illuminate one another and will appeal to a wide market including academics, students and the general public interested in Archaeology, Egyptology, Anthropology, Architecture, Design and History. This is an indispensable acquisition in any library.
The Box Set is made up of the following titles: - Ancient Egypt in Africa - Views of Ancient Egypt since Napoleon Bonaparte: Imperialism Colonialism and Modern Appropriations - Ancient Perspectives on Egypt - Consuming Ancient Egypt - Mysterious Lands - The Wisdom of Egypt: Changing Visions Through the Ages - Imhotep Today - Never Had the Liked Occurred': Egypt's View of its Past |
