5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for postcolonial classes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colonial Harem (Theory and History of Literature) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. i use it in my postcolonial classes in college as a way of introducing colonialist discourse and the way women are used in colonialist representations. if you want to understand why the East is suspicious of the West, especially when it comes to women and gender as a whole, this book is a good starting point.

5.0 out of 5 stars
observer observed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colonial Harem (Theory and History of Literature) (Paperback)
I strongly recommend "the colonial harem" for everyone interested in Orientalism, colonial and postcolonial literature, and the subaltern studies. In "the colonial harem," Malek Alloula reverses the camera and literally enables the readers to observe the observer and his "colonial gaze." As a final note, Barbara Harlow's introduction itself is worth reading alone for a better grasp of the complex issues that underlie the representation of the other. - Definitely worth buying!

Good,

This review is from: Colonial Harem (Theory and History of Literature) (Paperback)
I know that this is an old book, and it was advertised as good, but it was really wasn't in "good" condition, the binding was intact, but the pages were written all over and there was minor damages in the page structure.
