By applying contemporary theory from across the social sciences, the authors of this title shed light on Ancient Egyptian and Maya cultures, and draw attention to the fundamental differences that can underlie apparently similar practices.

Recenzje

'Meskell and Joyce have created a study which truly crosses cultures, millenia and disciplines ... Their study truly gives the reader a feel for ancient personhood in these societies, and constantly causes one to question foundational assumptions. In this respect [they] have masterfully accomplished their aims.' - www.PalArch.nl
