Uncover the complex legacy of Orientalism and Imperialism. Andrew Wilcox challenges prevailing interpretations of Edward Said, examining 19th-century missionary perspectives on Kurdistan to redefine Orientalism as a fluid cultural construct. This compelling analysis reveals how missionaries’ subtle undermining of local knowledge, despite anti-imperialist rhetoric, reshaped perceptions. By tracing these historical disjunctions to contemporary Middle East-West relations, the book offers a crucial lens on enduring prejudices. An indispensable read for students and academics in India studying cultural studies, post-colonialism, and international relations, seeking a nuanced historical perspective.
