«La fractura imaginaria» is the essay by Georges Corm, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Georges Corm argues that the confrontation between East and West responds to an «imaginary fracture» made of clichés and received ideas. He analyzes how the 19th century created the stereotype of a mystical East against a rationalist West, and criticizes false secularism and racial theories.

Aimed at readers of political essays and those who want to critically examine stereotypes about East and West.
