Review

The Assyrian Heritage: Threads of Continuity and Influence is a successful example of a multidisciplinary approach to themes of identity and ethnicity.  This thoroughly researched international collaboration provides new answers to old questions and, more importantly, a wealth of new avenues for investigation. I recommend this book to undergraduates and researchers alike as a broad and holistic approach to an increasingly popular field. The book succeeds in presenting a multi-disciplinary approach to contemporary Assyrian Studies.
