What is The Muslim Reception of European Orientalism: Reversing the Gaze (Routledge Studies in Modern History) about?

Edward Said’s Orientalism , now more than fifty years old, has to be one of the most frequently cited books among academics in a wide range of disciplines, and the most frequently assigned book to undergraduates at colleges. Among the common questions raised in response to Said’s book: Did scholars in Western Europe provide crucial support to the imperialist, colonialist activities of European regimes? Are their writings on Islam laden with denigrating, eroticized, distorting biases that have left an indelible impact on Western society?

An international team of contributors rectify this oversight in this volume. About the Author Susannah Heschel is the Eli Black Professor and Chair of the Jewish Studies Program at Dartmouth College. She is the author of Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus , The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany , and Jüdischer Islam: Islam und jüdisch-deutsche Selb
