Occidentalism
Professor Chen Xiaomei was the first to use "Occidentalism" to denote a Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China (see her book: Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-Discourse in Post-Mao China (New York: Oxford, 1995). Different uses of the term appeared about a decade later, when Occidentalism referred to stereotyped and sometimes dehumanizing views on the so-called Western world, including Europe, the United States, and Australia. The term was popularized by Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit in their book Occidentalism: the West in the Eyes of its Enemies (2004). The term is an inversion of OrientalismEdward Said’s label for stereotyped Western views of the East. A number of earlier books had also used the term, sometimes with different meanings.
