Orientalism: A Bibliography

Introduction

The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a useful list of sources concerning the concept of orientalism and the scholarly debate on that concept. Although the distinction between orientalism and post-colonialism is often difficult to make, I have generally excluded the larger literature on post-colonialism except as it is directly relevant to the debate on orientalism. As will be seen, the work of Edward Said figures largely in the contents of the bibliography. This bibliography was originally posted on herbswanson.com in September 2004 and was revised and corrected inNovember 2004.
