{"product_id":"local-knowledge-and-microidentities-in-tim-whitmarsh-9781108984973","title":"Local Knowledge and Microidentities in the Imperial Greek World","description":"This volume explores the proposition that the absorption of the Greek world into the Roman empire created a new emphasis upon local identities, much as globalisation in the modern world has done. Localism became the focal point for complex debates: in some cases, it was complementary with imperial objectives, but in others tension can be discerned. The volume as a whole seeks to add texture and nuance to the existing literature on Greek identity, which has tended in recent years to emphasise the umbrella category of the Greek, to the detriment of specific polis and regional identities. It also contributes to the growing literature on the Romanisation of provinces, by emphasising the dialogue between a region's self-identification as a distinct space and its self-awareness as a component of the centrally-governed empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Whitmarsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108984975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108984973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Tim Whitmarsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944151089407,"sku":"9781108984973","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1788f3df-f289-4696-80cc-e60989a429e7.jpg?v=1681502084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/local-knowledge-and-microidentities-in-tim-whitmarsh-9781108984973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
