"Through scholarly and lively examinations of diverse sites, from the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and Napoleon's occupation of Egypt to the current War on Terror, this volume unravels the multifaceted and often disturbing ways in which the violence of words and war go hand in hand. This is an essential and timely intervention into our understanding of conflict, empire, and the making of truths."--Julian Go, Associate Professor of Sociology, Boston University
"When a book comes along that examines what should be obvious yet is utterly under-thought, you have to read it and teach it. This is such a book. It forces us to consider how war is unthinkable without Orientalism, and how Orientalism is unthinkable without war."--Cynthia Weber, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex
"Orientalism has a history in which projections of superiority and inferiority, fear and desire, repulsion and envy reach extremes that only war can resolve. From Herodotus to Petraeus, Orientalism and war have been cultural bedfellows. Assembling a diversity of views and keenness of inquiry rarely found in a single volume, Tarak Barkawi and Keith Stanski have revitalised the concept of Orientalism to bring a nuanced and complex understanding of how culture has become the killer variable of modern warfare."--James Der Derian, Professor of International Studies (Research), Brown University
"A wonderful and very serious contribution to the literature on war. Its engagement with Orientalism is wonderful, thought-provoking and original."--Dr. Laleh Khalili, Senior Lecturer in Politics of the Middle East and Research Tutor, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
"This book's thesis is that war produces Orientalist identities and in turn Orientalist identities produce warELit will no doubt challenge the views of many. The excellent academic and historical contextELmake the book a thought-provoking read." -- John Alexander, Asian Affairs
