The author challenges masculinist assumptions relating to the stability and homogeneity of the Orientalist gaze. The extent of women's involvement in the popular field of visual Orientalism is revealed.

Recenzje

'Surely the best kind of cultural study. Thoroughly engaged, passionate about its project, - Gendering Orientalism is fueled by the urgent need to rematerialize forms and peculiarities of modern power that have all but disappeared into what we take to be nature.

'An innovatory work, exceptionally useful for teaching ... an invaluable resource.' - Deborah Cherry, University of Manchester
