Black Athena Revisited by Martin Bernal

Martin Bernal's Black Athena Revisited is a new book about the history of Greek culture. In it, he argues that there was no evidence for any black or African influence on Greek culture. The work of Martin West and Walter Berkert has made the case for a substantial Near Eastern influence right from the beginning of Greek culture,. And their work has not been attacked with much venom at all - they've been quietly absorbed into classical scholarship.
