A century before the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism, a
passionate discourse emerged in the Ottoman Empire, rebutting
politicized Western representations of the East. Until the 1930s,
Ottoman and early Turkish Republican intellectuals, well acquainted
with the European political and cultural scene and charged with
their own ideological agendas, deconstructed tired cliches about
"the Orient." In this book, Zeynep Celik recontextualizes
Eurocentric postcolonial studies, unearthing an important episode
in modern Middle Eastern intellectual history and curating a
selection of primary texts illustrating the debates.
