collection and display, and a survey of key Orientalist tropes
Contains original essays on new perspectives for scholars and
students of art history, architecture, museum studies and cultural
and postcolonial studies
Highlights contested identities and new definitions of self through
topics such as 19th century monuments to Empire, cultural

exhibitions, and contemporary museological practice.
