The west's Orientalism - its construction of an Arab or Islamic 'Other' - has been exposed and examined within the critical theory microscope and thoroughly expelled, it seems, from academic thought. At the same time postmodern thinkers from Nietzsche onwards have employed the motifs and symbols in the Islamic Orient within an ongoing critique of western modernity, an appropriation which, this hugely controversial book argues, runs every risk of becoming a brand new plus much more insidious Orientalist strain.Ian Almond sensitively yet rigorously examines the task of Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Julia Kristeva and Slavoj Zizek, too as those of postmodern writers Jorge Luis Borges, Salman Rushdie and Orhan Pamuk. In doing so he exposes the implications with this 'use' of Islam for both the postmodern project and then for Islam itself. Taking apart the assumptions, omissions and contradictions inherent over these thinkers' ways to Islam and for the Arab world, and drawing around the work of prominent Muslim thinkers including Ziauddin Sardar, Aziz Al-Azmeh and Bobby S. Sayyid, "The New Orientalists" highlights the difficulty of ever speaking truly in relation to the 'Other'. In light with the current Western climate of fear and hysteria surrounding the Islamic world, this groundbreaking project could hardly be timely.Ian Almond teaches English and American Literature with the Europa-Universitat-Viadrina (Frankfurt Oder) and also the Freie Universitat (Berlin). He's also mcdougal of Sufism and Deconstruction (2004).
