«De Europese harem» is a book of essays by Fatima Mernissi, published by Singel Uitgeverijen in hardcover (218 pages, in Dutch).
The author analyzes the European gaze on the Arab world and the image of the Muslim woman, focusing on the harem as a cultural construct. In several essays she shows how the West has spread an exotic and stereotyped vision of the East, and draws on history and literature to dismantle those clichés.
The Dutch edition, translated from English by Jos den Bekker, was first published in 2001.
For readers interested in feminist essays and the critique of cultural stereotypes between Europe and the Arab world.
Fatema Mernissi was a Moroccan feminist writer and sociologist.
