Orientalism is a projection of Western mind about Orient.
I am finished with 1 chapter of this work .
I read about Orientalistic projects and crisis in Orientalism .
How texts written about Orient are forming our reality.
Also, that’s interesting how people tried to find someone similar to Jesus Christ in Islam and that Napoleon interpreted Quran in his favour to local imams so he can gain trust to colonise.

The more I read this book the more I like it. I really enjoyed the chapter about imaginative geography and Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” mentioned . I never noticed there were parts about Mohammed in there or lines about Islam, but in “Orientalism” Said gives interesting examples from this poem . Really interesting how perception of Islam and Orient was formed since Dante’s times and earlier .
