Orientalism's Interlocutors by Jill Beaulieu
Suitable for those interested in art history, theories of gender, and postcolonial studies, this book contests the idea that Orientalist art simply expresses the politics of Western domination and argues instead that it was often produced through cross-cultural interactions.
“Focusing largely on the conjunction of Orientalism and pictorial representation, a still underexamined area, Orientalism’s Interlocutors contributes new understanding to the concepts of Orientalism and colonial discourses”—Julie Codell, coeditor of Orientalism Transposed: The Impact of the Colonies on British Culture
“This collection of essays makes a significant contribution to what is becoming a truly major debate. It advances the latest thinking about the processes of cultural interaction between East and West by viewing such ‘interlocutions’ as being much more of a dialogue through which indigenous identities can be formed and asserted.”—John MacKenzie, author of Orientalism: History, Theory, and the Arts
