Neo-orientalism is a term, often used pejoratively, to describe modern incarnations of Orientalist thinking. (Altwaiji. 2014). The term is found in academic literature to critique Western attitudes to Islam and the Islamic world post 9/11.[1]
The term, neo-orientalism, was coined and developed by the two scholars Tuastad Dag and Mubarak aAltwaiji in the two theories of neo-orientalism. (3).
Though the term Neo-orientalism marks a change from classical Orientalism, the two concepts nevertheless shares similarities. For example, Neo-orientalism is, like Orientalism, "monolithic, totalizing, reliant on a binary logic, and based on an assumption of moral and cultural superiority over the Oriental other," according to Ali Behdad and Juliet A. Williams. Neo-orientalism should thus be understood more as "a supplement to enduring modes or Orientalist representation".[2]
