It's an amazing read and contains some very controversial points which have become the springboard for a whole host of literary debates. Said's words have inspired an entire generation of writers and critics who followed, critiqued and wrote with and against this work in particular. As with any other critical work, there is no doubt that there will be many who disagree and agree with it, and this is no exception. It is, by no means, an absolute authority on its subject but it has helped to shape and define much of what we read, how we read, what we see and perceive and how we see and perceive. I cannot recommend this book enough, the rest - I believe - speaks for itself. Review: Recommend read - In essence, Orientalism reveals that Western representations of the East are not innocent scholarship, but a form of cultural domination that has played a crucial role in sustaining imperial hierarchies. The book challenges us to see beyond these constructed images and to reconsider how power shapes what we know. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 3,493 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Historiography 2 in Mixed Heritage & Multiracial 2 in European & European Descent Studies | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,123) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 2.6 x 19.7 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0141187425 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141187426 | | Item weight | 315 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 396 pages | | Publication date | 1 Jan. 2003 | | Publisher | Penguin Books | ## Images ![Orientalism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CGJE1QyKL.jpg) ![Orientalism - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kei8D7ZpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Orientalism *by C***K on 9 September 2011* This is an absolute must in any colonial and postcolonial literature student's library, as well as anyone who's remotely interested in cultural, psychological and literary studies.

The book challenges us to see beyond these constructed images and to reconsider how power shapes what we know. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book has changed how I think about others. *by A***K on 10 January 2020* This book has altered, for the better I think, how I view other people and importantly other cultures. If you are serious about understanding then this is a book for you. We all tend to judge, I did but not know, other people, other cultures according to our own beliefs and ideas, our own perspective. This book has taught me to review my thinking: just because we do something one way it does not mean others who do it differently are wrong. This book for me is the top of the hit parade concerning my education. It's a difficult read, well not actually difficult, but its certainly not a time filler. It's a serious book to be read consciously, and carefully considered. You must read it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/49654513-orientalism](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/49654513-orientalism) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
