Ask Me Anything: Ancient Greece/Rome and White Nationalism Hi, r/AskHistorians, I’m Curtis Dozier, and I study appropriations of ancient Greece and Rome by contemporary hate groups. I’ve been documenting examples of these since 2017 at my website, Pharos: Doing Justice to the Classics, and I’ve written the first book-length study of the phenomenon, The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate.

Stop by #AskHistorians and check out our #AMA with Dr. Curtis Dozier, author of The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate! Already attracting an incredible selection of great answers, & still with plenty of time to ask your own questions!
