"It was not their irritating assumption of equality that annoyed Nicholai so much as their cultural confusions. The Americans seemed to confuse standard of living with quality of life, equal opportunity with institutionalized mediocrity, bravery with courage, machismo with manhood, liberty with freedom, wordiness with articulation, fun with pleasure - in short, all of the misconceptions common to those who assume that justice implies equality for all, rather than equality for equals."
- Trevanian from the novel 'Shibumi'

| |  | | | In Brief
MacKenzie investigates "the ways in which European and British music, theater, architecture, painting, and design appropriated the 'Oriental.' The 'Orient' refers, above all, to the Muslin Middle East and North Africa but also includes China, Japan, and India. {According to the author}, the appropriation itself took many forms: sometimes, the 'Orient was stereotyped, even caricatured, and its complex artistic heritage was reduced to easily commodified motifs. But frequently, as MacKenzie . . . argues, the Orient and its arts had a genuine influence and even a profound effect on their Western counterparts." (Choice) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
The Orientalism debate, inspired by the work of Edward Said, has been a major source of cross-disciplinary controversy in recent years. John Mackenzie offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of the vast literature on Orientalism, bringing to the subject some highly original historical perspectives. The book provides the first major discussion of Orientalism by a historian of imperialism. Setting the analysis within the context of conflicting scholarly interpretations, Mackenzie carries the discussion into wholly new areas, testing the notion that the Western arts received genuine inspiration from the East by examining the visual arts, architecture, design, music, and theater.
