<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For centuries the Islamic world has, by turns, been both reviled and admired in the West. Since the time of the Crusades, Europeans have viewed Muslim culture and religion through the unique distorting lens of Orientalism, colouring all aspects of their perception and generating a curious blend of fascination and distrust. Historian, sociologist and Middle East specialist Maxime Rodinson presents an account of this relationship, in a history that is balanced and concise yet insightful.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Rodinson's serious work is an analytical history of Europe's varying attitudes, positive and negative, towards Islam and the Middle East...deserves reading."--<i>The Economist</i> <p/>"Sure to become a favorite of American scholars of the Middle East. It is short, succinct, erudite, and greatly reassuring."--Richard W. Bulliet <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Maxime Rodinson is an eminent historian, sociologist and Middle East specialist whose classic account Muhammad is also published by I.B.Tauris.
