- Published
- Exemplaria 8 (1996): 59-96.
- Description
- The Man of Law uses the discourses of orientalism and antifeminism to suggest the proximity of Islam to Christianity and of women to men, as well as the necessity of reinscribing Muslims and women as clearly delimited Others. MLT attempts to forge a sense of fraternity among the quarrelsome male pilgrims.
