ePub Diary of a Southern Refugee During the War (American Women Ser Images and Realities) by Judith W. McGuire in History

Description

Orientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism; religion; Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted. He shows us how religion needs to be reinterpreted along the lines of cultural studies. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers; such as Foucault; Gadamer; Said; and Spivak; King provides us with a challenging series of reflections on the nature of Religious Studies and Indology.
