Summary:"No matter how one defines its extent and borders, Eastern Europe has long been understood as a liminal space, one whose undeniable cultural and historical continuities with Western Europe have been belied by its status as an "Other" in the Western imagination. Across illuminating and provocative case studies, The World beyond the West focuses on the region's ambiguous relationship to historical processes of colonialism and Orientalism.
