A metahistory of the clash of civilisations: us and them beyond Orientalism
The clash regime and its pathologies-- The passions of history -- The temptations of grammar -- The anger of nations -- Us and them: the art of engagement
This volume presents a history of the idea of the 'Clash of Civilisations' with particular reference to the myth of an inevitable confrontation between Islam and the West. It delves into history all the way back to the wars between Persia and Greece, the Crusades, Colonialism and the Enlightenment and brings this analysis forward to the contemporary 'war on terror'.
