Professor Al Da'mi's skillful formation of a paradigm out of examining specific works by British and American Orientalizing minds of sages who never transcended Disraeli's notion that "The East is a career", (such as Thomas Carlyle, Matthew Arnold, William Morris, Hariet Martinue, Washington Irving and Ralph Waldo Emerson) is both meaningful and corrective to previous notions held on Orientalism. The examined works are notable for being anti-colonial, and relatively unbiased. While Arnold applied the enduring impact of race on Islam at the historical moment it crossed the frontiers of the heartland of the Semitic races via Mesopotamia, to Aryan Persia and beyond, Carlyle and Irving sought in the spiritual chaos of pre-Islam Arabia the necessity of the missing heroic ring which their own contemporaneous societies needed urgently. And, while Morris retreated to Eastern arts as essential constituents of "the great chain of tradition" to oppose the unprincipled colonial destruction of art and beauty domestically and overseas, the early American authors felt at home contemplating the "New World" as a plant which would in no way soar sky high, without incorporating vital elements out of the soil of the East to blossom with the new millennial man
