Abstract
Molly Myerowitz Levine provides a thorough orientation in the issues and criticism associated with the first volume of Martin Bernal’s Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization. Levine praises Bernal’s ability to provoke a major rethinking of classical history, but she also takes him to task for not defending his study against misuse by some Afrocentrist writers.
