This scholarly work is ideal for readers interested in Middle Eastern history, postcolonial studies, and the history of cross-cultural intellectual debates. It will particularly appeal to academics and students seeking a deeper understanding of Ottoman and Turkish perspectives on Western representations of the East.

Description

A century before the publication of Edward Said’s Orientalism, a passionate discourse emerged in the Ottoman Empire, rebutting politicised Western representations of the East. Until the 1930s, Ottoman and early Turkish Republican intellectuals, well acquainted with the European political and cultural scene and charged with their own ideological agendas, deconstructed tired clichés about “the Orient.”

In Europe Knows Nothing about the Orient – A Critical Discourse (1872–1932), Zeynep Çelik recontextualises Eurocentric postcolonial studies, unearthing an important episode in modern Middle Eastern intellectual history and curating a selection of primary texts illustrating the debates.
