He Wants to Save Classics From Whiteness. Can the Field Survive?

Really good read, but especially of interest to Greek/Roman reconstructionists.

The classics are often implicated in "Western Civilisation" myths promoted by contemporary fascist sorts, as a kind of creation myth; the article also discusses how bringing non-white frameworks to the Classics can enhance our understanding of them (for example, understanding them as slave cultures; or, focusing more on how Greece & Rome interacted with Middle East and Africa)

In short, worth your time & reflection.
