In a departure from Buruma and Margalit's negative use of the term, Bonnett argues in The Idea of the West (2004) that both occidentalism and 'the West' are, in large part, non-Western inventions. They are employed and deployed, sometimes with very positive connotations, to develop distinct, non-Western, traditions of modernity.
