Synopsis
The Edward Said Reader includes key selections from all of Said's books, from his groundbreaking 1966 study of Joseph Conrad and the extraordinarily influential Orientalism, through Culture and Imperialism, Peace and its Discontents, to his memoir, Out of Place. Whether he is writing of Zionism or Palestinian self-determination, Jane Austen or Yeats, music or the media, Said's uncompromising intelligence casts urgent light on every subject he undertakes. The Edward Said Reader will prove a joy to the general reader and an indispensable resource for scholars of politics, history, literature, and cultural studies: in short, of all those fields that his work has influenced and, in some cases, transformed.
