Book Review: Deploying Orientalism in Culture and History: From Germany to Central and Eastern Europe. Edited by James Hodkinson and John Walker (original) (raw)

The book "Deploying Orientalism in Culture and History: From Germany to Central and Eastern Europe," edited by James Hodkinson and John Walker, explores diverse expressions of orientalism in German-speaking and Eastern European contexts, challenging Edward Said's traditional framework. The contributors examine how these regions articulate unique identities that blend oriental and Western elements, and they offer new perspectives on noncolonial forms of orientalism. This compilation serves as a significant resource for understanding the complexities of orientalism beyond its conventional British-centric narrative.
