Author: Michael Kemper File Type: pdf Orientalism as a concept was first applied to Western colonial views of the East. Subsequently, different types of orientalism were discovered but the premise was that these took their lead from Western-style orientalism, applying it in different circumstances. This book, on the other hand, argues that the diffusion of interpretations and techniques in orientalism was not uni-directional, and that the different orientologies Western, Soviet and oriental orientologies were interlocked, in such a way that a change in any one of them affected the others that the different orientologies did not develop in isolation from each other and that, importantly, those being orientalised were active, not passive, players in shaping how the views of themselves were developed.**

Author: John Lorinc File Type: pdf The story of the growth and destruction of Torontos first priority neighbourhood. From the 1840s until the Second World War, waves of newcomers who migrated to Toronto - Irish, Jewish, Italian, African American and Chinese, among others - landed in The Ward. Crammed with rundown housing and immigrant-owned businesses, this area, bordered by College and Queen, University and Yonge streets, was home to bootleggers, Chinese bachelors, workers from the nearby Eatons garment factories and hard-working peddlers. But the City considered it a slum, and bulldozed the area in the late 1950s to make way for a new civic square. The Ward finally tells the diverse stories of this extraordinary and resilient neighbourhood through archival photos and contributions from a wide array of voices, including historians, politicians, architects, story-tellers, journalists and descendants of Ward residents. Their perspectives on playgrounds, tuberculosis, sex workers, newsies and even bathing bring The Ward to life and, in the process, raise important questions about how contemporary cities handle immigration, poverty and the geography of difference. The Ward shines a light on one of Torontos most historically significant and most forgotten neighbourhoods. Instead of a straight history, the books editors opted to present the Ward through multiple short essays, each with its own unique point of view. The result is a fascinating and varied look at an area that once concurrently defined the city and acted as its biggest shame. As a result of the Wards eventual razing, there are few artifacts left to teach newer generations about this important part of Torontos history.
