Description
What the Rest Think of the West Since 600 AD offers a unique perspective on Western civilization by examining how other cultures have perceived and understood it over the centuries.
The book presents a rich historical look at the politics, science, technology, religion, family practices, and gender roles of civilizations not typically associated with the West. Through a range of writings from scholars, diplomats, missionaries, travelers, merchants, and students, Laura Nader sheds light on the power of representational practices.
With informative introductions to each selection, this book initiates conversations about how our understanding of ourselves is shaped by external perspectives.
