Description
Terms such as the 'Orient' and 'Asia' are spatial and cultural constructs which were devised by Western civilisation to help it understand and colonise a large portion of the world's surface and people. Examines the way Western civilisation has conceived the notion of 'Asia'; and how such conceptions have informed the West's engagement of this region. Traces this engagement from pre-modern times to the present. Largely concentrates on that space commonly referred to as the 'Far East', namely Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia.
