The new Orientalists postmodern representations of Islam from Foucault to Baudrillard / [electronic resource] / Ian Almond. - London : I. B. Tauris, 2007. - 1 online resource

At the same time postmodern thinkers have employed the motifs & symbols of the Islamic Orient with an ongoing critique of western modernity, an appropriation which runs every risk of becoming a new branch of Orientalism.
