About this book

This volume highlights the role of Jewish scholars within the field of Oriental studies in the 19th and 20^th century. It discusses their views of Islam and the "Orient" in the context of concepts such as orientalism, colonialism, and modernity. The analysis shows that Jewish oriental research provides a way of understanding some of the particularities of the boundaries between European frameworks of thought.
