Turks, Moors, and Englishmen in the Age of Discovery by Nabil Matar
Presents data about Anglo-Islamic social and historical interactions. This book provides a unique direction in the study of England's geographic imagination. It illuminates the subtleties and interchangeability of stereotype, racism, and demonization that must be taken into account in any depiction of English history.
A valuable contribution to the study of the rise of Orientalism and colonialism.. perceptive and elegantly written. Arab Studies Journal An important but neglected topic. Matar has done early modern scholarship an important service. Sixteenth Century Journal Worth [its] weight in gold... Matar's work adds to the discourse of both orientalism and post-colonialism by providing essential detailed historical analysis of primary sources... Extremely informative and enlightening. The Muslim World Book Review Matar's work is full of surprises for anyone who believes that Christian-Muslim relations have always been confrontational. -- William Dalrymple New York Review of Books
