Description
A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East, Orientalism remains a vital work on our divided world. First published in 1979, this influential study traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period of European dominance in the Middle and Near East, where the East was defined solely as "other than" the Occident. This entrenched view continues to shape Western ideas, preventing true understanding of the East.
