A Mosaic Of Misunderstanding: Occident, Orient, And Facets Of Mutual Misconstrual eBook

The book investigates relations between the ‘East’ and ‘West’ from the Enlightenment until the present times. On the basis of a selection of American, British and Turkish literature, Orientalist painting, and Western opera works, the study proposes an innovative, more nuanced reading of post/colonial phenomena and their socio-cultural implications.
