"With its copious fine illustrations and lucid exposition, this is
an extraordinary resource for the teacher of Greek
archaeology."---Robin Osborne, World Archaeology
"In this significant reinterpretation, Arrington convincingly
maintains that material culture and knowledge did not flow from
East to West just through multiethnic elites; it also flowed
through the interactions of non-elites."---C. C. Kolb, Choice
Reviews
"In his wonderfully stimulating book, Nathan Arrington has the
people on the margins of 7th-century Attica have their voices
roaring back into the debate. . . . [It] should be read by anyone
interested in the subaltern perspective, artistry and pottery, as
well as the historiography behind many of the discipline’s accepted
assumptions."---Roy van Wijk, The Classical Journal
"This is an inspiring book. It is not only well researched, nicely
illustrated and elegantly written, but it offers a whole range of
new perspectives on the Protoattic style and its wider context,
with the objects themselves (and their agency) taking center
stage."---Maximilian Rönnberg, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Thought-provoking and ambitious…[t]his unconventional volume –
beautifully phrased and engagingly written – is very clear and well
structured, with numerous high-quality images helping readers to
follow [Arrington’s] descriptions and readings of the
vases."---Adriano Orsingher, The Classical Review
"[A] beautifully written book, based on substantial and thorough
research. . . . Moving away from the “Orientalizing” paradigm,
Arrington succeeds in bringing to the forefront artists,
immigrants, and multicultural communities, while challenging the
elite connotations of the Proto-Attic pottery. This book, well
produced and richly illustrated, is a positive contribution to the
literature on seventh-century BCE Attica for students and scholars
alike."---Vicky Vlachou, American Journal of Archaeology
"[F]ascinating and ground-breaking. . . . [Athens at the Margins]
is an intelligent, very well written, and well-presented
book."---Conor Trainor, Sehepunkte
"A fine book."---Mario Denti, Ancient West and East
