Re: Orientalism in Dominions
Oh!
And another source of so-called "Egypt-as-Oriental anthropomorphism" are the works of Robert E. Howard, in that his 'King Kull' series, which feature a Nation of reptilian/serpentine. Nothing "Eurocentric" about that one, he was American too.
Plus, I personally disagree-even with your Egyptian friend-in the idea that Egypt is somehow the Orient. That just doesn't jibe with me, even if I were to accept the whole "Orient vs Occident" motif.
