Description
The Orientalism debate, inspired by the work of Edward Said, has been a major source of cross-disciplinary controversy. Orientalism offers a re-evaluation of this vast literature by a historian of imperialism, giving it a historical perspective.
The discussion tests the notion that the Western arts received genuine inspiration from the East by examining the visual arts, architecture, design, music, and theatre. The book argues that Western approaches to the Orient have been much more ambiguous and genuinely interactive than Said allowed.
