Orientalism - Said, Edward W.
More than three decades after its first publication, Edward Said's groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East has become a modern classic. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding. In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident.
Essential, and still eye-opening, Orientalism remains one of the most important books written about our divided world.
