These student-created guides will help you identify and digest scholarship that may be useful in your study of race and antiquity.
Many thanks to students in Nandini Pandey’s Spring 2024 Classics Research Lab at Johns Hopkins for creating these guides. Please cite their work and remember it never substitutes for direct engagement.
Books are arranged alphabetically by author’s last name. We would love volunteers to create guides to scholarship not already covered!
This collection represents only a tiny sampling of the many resources available. We hope you and other users will create and add guides of your own to works not yet covered below. Please be sure to cite all contributors!
