No. 47. "Orientalism and the Arms Race: An Analysis of the Neo-Colonial
Discourse on Nuclear Non-Proliferation," Hugh Gusterson, 1991. When we speak about others, we are most revealing about ourselves.
This paper is about the way "we" in the West speak about Third World
countries seeking, like us, to possess nuclear weapons. That is to say,
the paper is about the way "we" speak about "them" when they try to
behave like us. Click here to order a copy from the author.
