Rezensionen

'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
