pg 322: thesis of book:
1. Orient is constituted entity
2. notion that there are spaces with indigenous radically different inhabitants who can be defined on basis of religion/culture/racial essence proper to that geographic space is highly debatable
therefore, ridiculous to argue that only an 'insider' (latino writing about latinos, muslim writing about muslims) has monopoly on analysis

on pg 303 - US 'area studies' of the Middle East had a diff growth pattern than from Europe. US sociology instead of philology: a 'scientific method' which was then applied to the 'orient'. Focus on facts instead of interpreting texts.
US orientalism as an institution with its own discourse also more closely connected with the US govt. Example: Middle East Institute funded by state department grants
