Orientalism and the postcolonial predicament : perspectives on South Asia
Breckenridge, Carol Appadurai. (editor)
Orientalism and the postcolonial predicament : perspectives on South Asia - Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Press 1993 - viii, 355p.,
In his extraordinarily influential book Orientalism, Edward Said argued that Western knowledge about the Orient in the Post-Enlightenment period has been "a systematic discourse by which Europe was able to manage--even produce--the Orient politically, sociologically, militarily, ideologically, scientifically, and imaginatively." According to Said, European and American views of the Orient created a reality in which the Oriental was forced to live. Although Said's work deals primarily with discourse about the Arab world, much of his argument has been applied to other regions of "the Orient."
