Post-Orientalism: Knowledge and Power in a Time of Terror by Hamid Dabashi (9781412856447)

Description - Post-Orientalism: Knowledge and Power in a Time of Terror by Hamid Dabashi

Since the United States and Europe are clearly going to be studying and interacting with Muslim cultures for the foreseeable future, a book like his provides encouraging illumination. Contemporary Sociology Post-Orientalism is a sustained record of Hamid Dabashi s reflections over many years on the question of authority and power. Who gets to represent whom and by what authority? Dabashi s work picks up where Edward Said s Orientalism left off. Said traced the origin of the power of representation and the agency that it entails to the colonial hubris that enabled a band of mercenary merchants, military officers, Christian missionaries, and European Orientalists to represent those they sought to rule."
