| Summary: | Orientalism refers to a set of important yet misleading knowledge claims about the "Orient," a part of the world that has been located both conceptually and physically east of the European West. This orientalist knowledge provided the West with a flawed understanding of "Eastern" arts, languages, sciences, histories, faiths, cultures, peoples, and nations. Scholars of orientalism generated a nationally specific body of cultural, racialized, sexualized, and politicized knowledge related to "oriental" nations with their particular traits and customs, which were promulgated by First World experts, leaders, and policy advisors to support colonial projects and modern imperialism.a. |
