"A fine book."---Mario Denti, Ancient West and East --- "[F]ascinating and ground-breaking. . . . [Athens at the Margins] is an intelligent, very well written, and well-presented book."---Conor Trainor, Sehepunkte --- "[A] beautifully written book, based on substantial and thorough research. . . . Moving away from the “Orientalizing” paradigm, Arrington succeeds in bringing to the forefront artists, immigrants, and multicultural communities, while challenging the elite connotations of the Proto-Attic pottery. This book, well produced and richly illustrated, is a positive contribution to the literature on seventh-century BCE Attica for students and scholars alike."---Vicky Vlachou, American Journal of Archaeology --- "Thought-provoking and ambitious…[t]his unconventional volume – beautifully phrased and engagingly written – is very clear and well structured, with numerous high-quality images helping readers to follow [Arrington’s] descriptions and readings of the vases."---Adriano Orsingher, The Classical Review --- "This is an inspiring book. It is not only well researched, nicely illustrated and elegantly written, but it offers a whole range of new perspectives on the Protoattic style and its wider context, with the objects themselves (and their agency) taking center stage."---Maximilian Rönnberg, Bryn Mawr Classical Review --- "In his wonderfully stimulating book, Nathan Arrington has the people on the margins of 7th-century Attica have their voices roaring back into the debate. . . . [It] should be read by anyone interested in the subaltern perspective, artistry and pottery, as well as the historiography behind many of the discipline’s accepted assumptions."---Roy van Wijk, The Classical Journal --- "In this significant reinterpretation, Arrington convincingly maintains that material culture and knowledge did not flow from East to West just through multiethnic elites; it also flowed through the interactions of non-elites."---C. C. Kolb, Choice Reviews --- "With its copious fine illustrations and lucid exposition, this is an extraordinary resource for the teacher of Greek archaeology."---Robin Osborne, World Archaeology
