[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] Sometimes suggestions of papers, theses, books and other stuff come into my mailbox. I got this suggestion for a book the other day. The author Kevin Burell has been mentioned here on ES before. He is PhD in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and his main field of research investigates ethnic identity and representation in the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East. He is particularly interested in the history and identity of the ancient Kushites/Nubians of North Africa. Here is an introduction to the book [QUOTE]Cushites in the Hebrew Bible offers a reassessment of Cushite ethnographic representations in the biblical literature as a counterpoint to misconceptions about Africa and people of African descent which are largely a feature of the modern age. Whereas current interpretations have tended to emphasize unfavourable portraits of the people biblical writers called Cushites, Kevin Burrell illuminates the biblical perspective through a comparative assessment of ancient and modern forms of identity construction. Past and present modes of defining difference betray both similarities and differences to ethnic representations in the Hebrew Bible, providing important contexts for understanding the biblical view. This book contributes to a clearer understanding of the theological, historical, and ethnic dynamics underpinning representations of Cushites in the Hebrew Bible. Readership All interested in the place of Africa and Africans in the Bible and the Ancient Near East, and students and specialists researching Cush and Cushites in the Hebrew Bible[/QUOTE][URL=https://www.academia.edu/41727236/Cushites_in_the_Hebrew_Bible_Negotiating_Ethnic_Identity_in_the_Past_and_Present?email_work_card=view-paper]Cushites in the Hebrew Bible: Negotiating Ethnic Identity in the Past and Present-2020[/URL] Google books offer a sneak peak into the book [URL=https://books.google.se/books?id=CfHJDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=sv#v=onepage&q&f=false] Preview[/URL] [/qb][/QUOTE]Posted this source from Kevin Burrell years ago.
