<p>"It shows very clearly that issues having to do with global economic decisions are closely linked with issues having to do with philosophical and religious decisions. The focus of much of the book on India as a case-study is also useful. It's a fine work, written with clarity and intelligence and with some genuinely new things to say about the debate on orientalism." — Paul J. Griffiths, The Divinity School, University of Chicago</p><p>"It juxtaposes well-known thinkers (Derrida, Habermas, etc.) with lesser known ones (Radhakrishnan, Mehta, etc.) in new and exciting ways. Most importantly, it treats all the thinkers on a level playing field, a move which itself creates a new 'field' in which the issue of cross-cultural theory can be developed. It possesses a number of unique and, at times, startling, insights which emerge out of the context of a well-worn debate on the issue of cross-cultural engagement." — Laurie L. Patton, Bard College</p>
