Abstract

In the face of current debates on the subject of Islam, Christina von Braun and Bettina Mathes point to the centuries-old history of interpreting the orient from the western perspective. The material-rich volume sketches the historical and geographical diversity of the phenomenon of “Islam,” showing how the western world has long taken for granted their projection of an image of the occidental orient and how these images persist, even where they might be least expected.
