"Debating Orientalism offers a useful balance between the more historiographical and the more theoretical interventions, and gives an excellent sense of the multiple disciplinary frameworks Said's book invokes and incites. The chapters talk back to each other in intriguing ways, indeed at points argue categorically against each other, giving a sense of immediacy and debate." - Dr. Alex Padamsee, University of Kent, UK
