Said's Orientalism has opened up reflections that were practically unthinkable under the hegemony of Orientalist discourse. By dismantling the Orientalist thesis of the hierarchy of Self and Other, of the West and the Orient, the book helped remove mental barriers, creating an intellectual space for cultural dialogues. The most striking achievement of Orientalism has been the undoing of racist dualisms. The book sets an example of how institutionalised biases can be questioned and ultimately redressed. This questioning in turn permitted the rise of alternative perspectives on the Other that went beyond Islam and the ‘Orient’. Marginalised sectors in society have been inspired by Orientalism to question dominant views. Notes Corresponding author E‐mail address: [email protected] (F.J. Ghazoul)
