{"product_id":"the-ionian-islands-in-the-christina-haywood-9781835537558","title":"The Ionian Islands in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe central Ionian Islands occupy a special geographical position in the eastern Mediterranean. On the one hand they face and are in close proximity to the western Greek mainland and on the other they are connected with the western Balkans and the central Mediterranean through the Ionian and Adriatic seas. Although, with the exception of Corfu, they were integrated in the Aegean cultural sphere of influence throughout the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, their marginal position and insularity also contributed to the formation of particular sociocultural identities, individually and as a group. On occasions these conditions also made them highly desirable as spaces for wide-ranging maritime-based interactions and inter-cultural exchanges. Culturally the islands remained above all a part of the western periphery of the Aegean world, pulsing to its major changes and upheavals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the twenty years since the first edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Ionian Islands in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age\u003c\/em\u003e came out there has been a significant surge of interest in peripheries and their role in the construction of cultural and historical narratives about Greece over the centuries. Yet the Ionian Islands have by and large been left behind in these discussions. This fully revised second edition of the book incorporates all the recent discoveries and studies, as well as updating a large part of the earlier evidence, and aims to bring the islands back to the centre of debates and showcase their relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835537553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835537558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Christina Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445771022591,"sku":"9781835537558","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c65f601-7e96-4e17-883d-a66ffc5d3e14.jpg?v=1777220543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ionian-islands-in-the-christina-haywood-9781835537558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
