Summary: Old arguments revisited
Comment: The books offers a conscise rendering of the role played by the figure of the female in the investigation of the relationship between the orient and occident. The argument itself is not new and does not escape the customary framework of the critique of orientlist discourse. It however, contextualises the issues at hand within the framework of bio-power and its rule in shaping the subjectivity of both coloniser and colonised. The title suggests that it is an attempt at offering a feminist reading of orientalism which I think has been achieved more than once by other post-colonial feminists. I gave it four stars for style and lucidity but not originality
