Contents:
On Cooks and Crooks : Aḥmad Fāris al-Shidyāq and the Orientalists in England and France (1840s-1850s) / Tarek el-Ariss -- Experiencing Orientalism : Amin al-Madani and the Sixth Oriental Congress, Leiden, 1883 / Kathryn Anne Schwartz -- The Reception of the Brill Encyclopedia of Islam : An Egyptian Debate on the Credibility of Orientalism / Said F.

Summary: Edward Said's Orientalism, now more than fifty years old, has to be one of the most frequently cited books among academics in a wide range of disciplines, and the most frequently assigned book to undergraduates at colleges. One question less raised (or less has been done about the question) is How were the Orientalist writings of European scholars of Islam received among their Muslim contemporaries? An international team of contributors rectify this oversight in this volume.
