Harvard University Press, Date: 2002 8vo (23.5 cm), xiv, 386 pp. Publisher's cloth backed boards and dust jacket (dj slightly frayed at extremities, front hinge somewhat cracked). In the first century CE, Jews living abroad vastly outnumbered those in Palestine, inhabiting regions spanning the Greek mainland, Aegean islands, Asia Minor, the Tigris-Euphrates valley, Egypt, and Italy. Examining hubs like Alexandria, Greek cities in Asia Minor, and Rome, Gruen scrutinizes the lives of diaspora Jews, elucidating their challenges, institutional frameworks, and adaptive strategies. Amidst sporadic harassment, this minority demonstrated resilience, with intellectuals deeply enmeshed in Greco-Roman culture yet adept at reshaping it for their own ends. Displaying both a reverence for their homeland and a dedication to local communities and Gentile governance, they navigated their identity with confidence, contributing to a vibrant cultural tapestry that defied conventional assimilation narratives, as Gruen's incisive analysis of historical and literary records reveals, challenging prevailing notions of Jewish engagement with the dominant Classical civilization. 2002.
