Reviews

...Obluski's broader claim about the essential continuity of Nubian late antiquity is convincing. It is in keeping with more general trends in Nubian studies, which have in the last generation seen Nubian studies less as an ongoing cycle of external influence and disruption and more as the continuous history of a single population. Obluski's work on late antique Nubia is a welcome addition to this corpus. -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review
