Beskrivning

Since Edward Said’s publication of Orientalism in 1978, so-called Western social theory and its claim to universal analytical validity has been exposed to severe criticism. The authors critically reflect upon the concepts of so-called Western social theory by engaging with social science literature and social theory in Arabic.
