Abstract: "Askut in Nubia investigates the economic and political factors contributing to a change in Egyptian imperial policy from a system of equilibrium stressing separation of the Egyptians and the native population during the Middle Kingdom (c. 1900-1650 BC), to a new policy of acculturation bringing Nubia directly into Egyptian civil and religious systems in the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1000 BC)."--Jacket.
