Summary:

"Zooming in on local places and local communities, the present volume explores the interplay between the local and the global in the ancient West Mediterranean. Grounded by the twin notions of agency and locality, it investigates Indigeneity, empowerment and practice in a rich dialectic with globalizing influences and colonial forces."-- Provided by publisher.
