Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book offers a compelling and much-needed reframing of how Orientalist knowledge systems were generated, deployed, and entangled across ideological lines during the Cold War. It moves beyond the dominant Saidian framework to examine how "Orientalism" was not simply a product of Western imperialism but a set of knowledge regimes simultaneously shaped by global power dynamics, including those of the socialist world. What sets this volume apart is its comparative lens and institutional sensitivity. It traces how Soviet and Western approaches to the study of the "Orient" developed in dialogue, competition, and partial convergence. Chapters reveal that Soviet "Orientalism" was neither a carbon copy of its Western counterpart nor an isolated ideologically constrained academic endeavour. Rather, it was a dynamic and internally diverse field, influenced both by Marxist-Leninist frameworks and by indigenous scholars, often themselves Muslim or Central Asian, who operated within the Soviet research apparatus. The book is organised around several case studies that bring nuance to this argument. These include the Soviet Union's deployment of Orientalist knowledge in Central Asia and the Caucasus; the cross-pollination of area studies between Yugoslavia, the USSR, and the West; and the role of Japanese studies in Cold War-era United States scholarship. Other chapters examine how international conferences, academic journals, and translation programmes functioned as ideological battlegrounds where knowledge production was tied directly to diplomacy and global image-making. Notably, the volume makes a strong case for reassessing institutional histories - of academies, universities, and Cold War-era think tanks - as part of the broader history of political epistemology. The contributors illuminate how knowledge of the "East" was never neutral, but produced within webs of surveillance, soft power projection, national security concerns, and regional identity politics. By highlighting the fluid, contested, and often paradoxical nature of Cold War knowledge production, Reassessing Orientalism avoids simplistic binaries and instead foregrounds the multiplicity of voices, networks, and motivations at play. It offers invaluable insights for historians of the Cold War, intellectual historians, political scientists, and scholars working on the global history of social sciences and humanities. This is not merely a book about the past; it speaks to present-day debates on academic independence, global hierarchies of knowledge, and the politicisation of expertise. It should be considered essential reading in any serious research collection addressing Orientalism, Soviet studies, Cold War diplomacy, or the evolution of global academia. -- Contents: 1.
