Özet:

 Orientalism -describing, understanding and explaining the Eastern world in Western disciplines- has been one of the concepts discussed in the modern period. Considering the changing dynamics in the modern period and the new orientalist views, the question Should orientalism be understood entirely negatively? comes to mind. If the subject is Islamic history, the impact of these researchers and their studies in developing an understanding of Islam in the West, including theories about history and the historian, emerges as a research matter. This article aims to investigate the impact of Hugh Kennedy as an Orientalist historian on the understanding of Islamic history in the West. In the article, Kennedys life and academic career are examined, his works and his influence on Islamic historiography are evaluated. Finally, his approach to Islamic history is discussed by researching the method he followed and his impact on the understanding of Islamic history in the West is assessed.

 Doğu dünyasını Batı disiplinlerinde tasvir etme, anlamlandırma ve anlatma sanatı olarak oryantalizm, özellikle modern dönem içinde tartışılan kavramlardan biri olmuştur. Nitekim, modern dönemde değişen dinamikler ve çalışmalarıyla öne çıkan yeni oryantalist isimler göz önünde bulundurulduğunda oryantalizm tamamen menfi bir şekilde mi anlaşılmalıdır? sorusu akıllara gelmektedir. Konu İslam tarihi olduğunda ise bu araştırmacıların ve ortaya koydukları eserlerin Batıda İslamın anlaşılmasına yaptıkları olumlu veya olumsuz tesir, tarih ve tarihçi hakkındaki teorileri de kapsayarak araştırılması gereken bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu makale, oryantalist bir tarihçi olarak Hugh Kennedynin Batıda İslam tarihinin anlaşılmasına etkisini değerlendirmek üzere kaleme alınmıştır. Çalışmada Kennedynin hayatı ve akademik kariyeri, eserleri ve İslam tarihçiliğine katkısı ele alınmıştır. Son olarak İslam tarihine yaklaşımı, takip ettiği metot dikkate alınarak incelenmiş ve onun Batıda İslam tarihinin anlaşılmasına etkisi üzerine yorumlarda bulunulmuştur.
