What is Understanding Orientalism about?

The author presents the concept of orientalism as a European intellectual tradition of studies about the East that served to justify European colonial domination. He defines orientalism as a form of thought based on the distinction between the West and the East and analyzes how the orientalist discourse produced stereotyped images of the East that legitimized European power. The author argues that orientalism reflects more about European culture than about the East itself.
