Rezensionen

Wael B. Hallaq's Restating Orientalism is going to add a new dimension to the long debate about Orientalism. Hallaq's work offers both a partial reevaluation and a substantial extension to Said's original argument. Going beyond the questions of representations of the Orient, Hallaq's work expands the scope of this critical discussion to reexamine the epistemological foundations of modern historical social sciences.
