This book uses a historical and theoretical focus to examine the
key of issues of the Enlightenment, Orientalism, concepts of
identity and difference, and the contours of different modernities
in relation to both local and global shaping forces, including the
spread of capitalism. The contributors present eight in-depth
studies and a substantial theoretical introduction, utilizing
primary and secondary sources in Turkish, Farsi, Chinese, not to
mention English, French and German in the effort to engage
materials and cultural perspectives from diverse regions. It
provides a critical attempt to think through the potentialities and
limitations of area-studies and 'civilizational' approaches to the
production of knowledge about the modern world, and the often
obscured relationship between the fragment and the whole, or the
particular and universal. The book is an intervention in one of the
most fundamental debates confronting the social science and
humanities, namely how to understand global and local historical
processes as interconnected developments affecting human actors.
From Orientalism to Postcolonialism will be of interest to
academics and postgraduate students in Cultural and Postcolonial
Studies and Asian studies and Middle Eastern studies.
