Cover of Stephan Conermann & Michael Kemper: Heritage of Soviet Oriental Studies (ePUB)

The Western field of oriental studies and orientalism – criticised by Edward Said among others for encouraging the orient to be viewed in a particular way – has a counterpart in Russia and the Soviet Union. This book examines this Russian/Soviet intellectual tradition of oriental scholarship covering Islamic history and Muslim literatures of the USSR republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus.
