THE POLITICS OF REPRESENTATION IN AHDAF SOUEIFS...

This book examines the themes and narrative features in Ahdaf Soueif's The Map of Love . It
deals with unresolved questions regarding asymmetrical intercultural relationships and the
historical reasons for the present cultural conflicts. It also looks at the role played by
nineteenth century visual and literary stereotyped representations of 'oriental' otherness when
compared with the western tradition. The author offers a critical perspective on Soueif's use
of nineteenth century English travel writing as a strategy for the deconstruction of its
representative mechanisms. The book focuses on Soueif's mapping-out of the complex and
conflictual search for identity on the part of the Egyptian protagonists  whilst questioning
the possible processes of transformation in maintaining one's own cultural diversity.
