19 Unfortunately, Said’s appropriation of Foucault and various currents
within French post-structuralism and some of his extreme epistemological
positions have sometimes generated more interest than his attention to
the history of colonialism, thus diverting historians from the subject at
hand and simultaneously turning them into mediocre literary critics. For
a discussion of the dilemmas, see Clifford, “Review Essay”; Clifford, The
Predicament of Culture, 255–76; Pagden, European Encounters with the New
World, 183–8; and Slezkine, Arctic Mirrors, 390–5. Recently from the
Russian field, see Knight, “Grigor’ev in Orenburg, 1851–1862,” and the
subsequent exchange: Khalid, “Russian History and the Debate over
Orientalism”; Knight, “On Russian Orientalism”; and Todorova, “Does
Russian Orientalism Have a Russian Soul?” For earlier and pioneering
works on European ideas about non-Western peoples, without any radical
claims about intertextuality, see Baudet, Paradise on Earth; Kiernan, The
Lords of Human Kind; Diamond, In Search of the Primitive; and more re-
cently, Bitterli, Cultures in Conflict.
