With their curious feeding behaviour, peculiar elongated body, gregarious social lives and exotic pink plumage, flamingos are among the most familiar and popular of all the world's birds.

Orientalism


Book Description

A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world.

This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.
