Meyda
Yegenoglu investigates the
intersection between
postcolonial and
feminist criticism, via the
Western fascination with the veiled women of the Orient.
Linking representations of cultural and sexual difference, she shows the Oriental woman to have functioned as the veiled interior of Western identity. Her original and compelling argument calls into question dualistic conceptions of identity and difference, West and East, masculinist assumptions of Orientalism, and Western feminist discourses that seek to "liberate" the veiled woman..
