De las colecciones que nacieron de « Critica/Historia, esta incorporo todos los textos correspondientes a Arqueologia e Historia antigua. Nacio con el libro de Lewis Binford, En busca del pasado, que iniciaba en Espana la divulgacion de la llamada « Nueva Arqueologia y que supuso un importante instrumento de renovacion metodologica. La coleccion ha acogido obras de lan Hodder, Clive Orton, Ramon Buxo, Colin Renfrew, Marisa Ruiz-Galvez, Jose Luis Lopez Castro, Bruce Trigger, Arturo Ruiz, Manuel Molinos, G. E. M. de Ste. Croix, Charles Redman, Domingo Placido, M a Eugenia Aubet o Jaime Alvar. Obra polemica y audaz, que defiende la tesis de que la civilizacion occidental no deriva de la Grecia clasica ni del impacto indoeuropeo de unos invasores « arios llegados al sur de los Balcanes, sino de influencias afroasiaticas, cuyas raices estarian en Egipto y en Canaan durante el Bronce medio y final.

Volume 1 has a rather lengthy and polemical demonstration that the study of ancient history has too often been shot through with racist assumptions. Although 19c German historiography isn't my forte, I gather this part has good grounding. Apart from that, volume one is a sort of striptease for Bernal's actual thesis, the "afro-asiatic roots of Greek civiliation," heavy on the tease and light on the strip.
Volume 2 presents the actual argument, and even Bernal's supporters had to concede the effort fell far short of the promise. Freeing himself from 19th-century racism, Bernal's method doesn't rise above 19th-century techniques. His archaeology is unsystemmatic and speculative. His linguistics is not recognized as such by real linguists, although it seems like linguistics to others (real linguistics is more than a game of playing with sounds to make words come from other words).
By the time the third volume came out, I, at least, stopped caring what he had to say. Perhaps he redeemed the argument in volume three. I doubt it. ( )
