Otherness in Wyndham Lewis’s Journey into Barbary: Travels across Morocco (1932) and Paul Bowles’s The Sheltering Sky (1949).

Abstract

This research deals with Otherness in both Wyndham Lewi’s Journey into Barbary: Travels across Morocco (1932) and Paul Bowles’s novel The Sheltering Sky (1949). It strives to answer the identity problem between the East and the West. In addition, it explores the roots and the evolution of dissensions between them till the 20th century especially the imagery that the West has established about the East. A certain number of themes have been raised to explain the reasons of these misrepresentations based on stereotypes.
