Colonial Fantasies: Towards a Feminist Reading of Orientalism - Cambridge Cultural Social Studies
Yegenoglu, Meyda (Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey)
Colonial Fantasies, first published in 1998, examines the Western fascination with the veiled women of the Orient. It challenges dualistic conceptions of identity and difference, West and East, and questions the traditional masculinist assumptions of Orientalism and feminist discourses which seek to 'liberate' the veiled woman.
