Описание: In this highly acclaimed study, Billie Melman recovers the unwritten history of the European experience of the Middle-East during the colonial era. She focuses on the evolution of Orientalism and the reconstruction - through contact with other cultures - of gender and class. Beginning with the eighteenth century Billie Melman describes the many ways in which women looked at oriental people and places and developed a discourse which presented a challenge to hegemonic notions on the exotic and different. Through her examination of the writings of famous feminist writers, travellers, ethnographers, missionaries, archaeologists and Biblical scholars, many of which are studied here for the first time, Billie Melman challenges traditional interpretations of Orientalism, placing gender at the forefront of colonial studies. This book provides a real extension to Edward Saids writing not only in the sense of challenging Edward Saids perspective, but also by adding a significant empirical and conceptual element to the discussion on orientalism. Those interested in womens history, in the cultural politics of cross-cultural encounters and in feminist or cultural theory will find much to engage them, inform them and challenge them in Melmans book. - Joanna De Groot, Times Higher Education Supplement Using the perspectives of both gender and class Melman sets an alternative view of the Orient against that of Said... a much less monolithic and much more complex and heterogenous than that of Said - Francis Robinson, Times Literary Supplement Womens Orients is an important contribution to our understanding of Orientalism. Melmans work is characterized by a fruitful bringing together of the skills of the historian with the sensitive reading of the British women writers... - Catherine Hall, The Feminist Review An excellent work... This book is a must for anyone interested in womens history, both English and Middle Eastern. It is well written and well argued and effectively does what it promises to do - Afaf Lutfi Al-Sayyid Marsot, The International History Review Womens Orients, a project of recovery and analysis, is an important consideration of European women travellers writing on the Middle East. It provides a rich and detailed interpretation of a feminine version of the Orient - Sherifa Zuhur, MESA Bulletin The book raises provocative issues and suggests complexities that deepen our understanding of colonial changes and representations - Dorothy O.Helly, American Historical Review.
